Job: Medical Assistant

Workplace: Asian Health Services

Home: Cambodia

Motto: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and things happen for a reason.

“Working for a nonprofit community health center is very satisfying. I decided to do this kind of work -- I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do but I knew that in the medical field was a pretty high demand, and I just want to get my foot in the door to figure out what I wanted to do. So when I started working for Asian Health Services, I really enjoy working here and working with the people here and the patients because it's a community base. You know, it's not -- because I've had previous experience from a private practice. And it's completely different. And I feel more satisfied working for a community health nonprofit than for a private practice.”
