Experience

• Founder · EZHealth2025-03-01 –

  EZHealth is a health-tech platform created to reduce healthcare disparities by making medical information more accessible, especially for immigrant families facing language, cultural, and digital literacy barriers. Our app connects directly to existing patient portals and translates medical information into clear, culturally sensitive, and multilingual guidance. Whether it’s navigating an appointment, understanding lab results, or managing medication and care plans, EZHealth helps ensure that no one is left behind simply because they don’t speak the dominant language or understand complicated medical information.

  As an English tutor for Ringle, I provide one-on-one language support to non-native English speakers, enhancing their conversational fluency, comprehension, and confidence. My sessions are tailored to each student’s goals, whether focused on business English, academic writing, or general conversational skills. This role enhances my communication skills by allowing me to explain complex language concepts, and I develop strong cultural sensitivity by understanding diverse backgrounds.
