About me
Hello everyone! My name is Kenia Cuadra. I am a Health Systems Management major and have a minor in public health. I decided to minor in public health because health is very important and I want to learn more about what can be done to prevent diseases throughout communities. I am currently a junior and expect to graduate in 2025.
I have always had an interest in healthcare but did not feel that I was capable of being a healthcare professional. I did some research and found health systems management and healthcare administration. That is when I decided I wanted to major in health systems management. After that, I will get my master's in healthcare administration. While in college I would love to look into different internships so I can see what I would be most interested in. With my degree, I plan on looking into jobs with leadership positions or roles.
My professional goal would be to be a chief executive officer (CEO) of a hospital or any clinic. If not that then a vice president of a company. To reach these goals I have to start from the bottom and work up to it. This is what will motivate me to work harder and do everything I need to do to reach my goals.
I have never had a job in the health care system but I have done other things outside of this workforce, like babysitting, being a part-time event decorator, and part-time server. I had a ton of leadership positions while I was in El Salvador last year. I was involved in my family's church and led some church groups and retreats. I also helped coach my little cousin's soccer team every Sunday. My favorite thing to do is volunteer, I love having the ability to help others in not just my community but also my community back in El Salvador. I plan on volunteering as much as I can, especially on the holidays when it is more needed.
Now outside of school, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, especially traveling with them. I also enjoy reading, going on walks, shopping, going on drives, and listening to music.
I love visiting my family in El Salvador and visiting new places with them!
I love spending summer days at the lake!
