I am a former U.S. Navy medical corpsman completing my Bachelor of Science in General Studies at Old Dominion University, with graduation anticipated in Summer 2026. Although my path has taken unexpected turns, it has ultimately strengthened my purpose. My military service shaped the core of my professional identity, and the experiences I gained continue to guide my academic and professional pursuits. I am now transitioning to a flexible, focused path that integrates my clinical background with my strengths in research, critical thinking, and social theory. I am deeply committed to understanding how social and institutional systems influence people\u2019s lives \u2014 particularly in healthcare \u2014 and to building a career that blends science, equity, and meaningful real\u2011world impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Carmen Jimenez De Jesus.
