Student Profile

Howard "Nate" Rainey

Biology major with a concentration in Biomedical Sciences

As a student with hopes of working in emergency health care, the Center for Career and Professional Development helped me obtain incredible experience as a medical scribe at UPMC Susquehanna's Emergency Department by supplying me with the tools necessary to be a successful applicant. The Center for Career and Professional Development gave me invaluable advice that I believe has given me, as well as the rest of the students at LHU, an advantage over other students at different universities by helping me build a sound resume, obtain access to extraordinary opportunities, and by providing tips on how to be successful in an interview.

Without the assistance of the Career Development Office, I wouldn't have been as knowledgeable about applying to jobs or aware of the opportunities that are offered in the area for students who aspire to work in health care. I now feel that I will have an advantage when I apply to and interview at professional schools and future occupations because of the advice The Center for Career and Professional Development has given me.
