Work & Military Experience

Work Experience

CardioVisual, Inc:Â Intern

CardioVisual is a company that created the CardioVisual app, an app built by cardiologists to provide cardiologist-curated content to its users to ensure that everything users learn is accurate and up-to-date. I worked with the CEO of the company and two others to build new content for the platform, test functions of the app/website, and set up a learning system so patients will be able to learn about their heart conditions in a clear and efficient manner.
