Experience

By day, she works at a clinic with practicing physicians and assists them in seeing patients. By night, she trades her stethoscope for her keyboard and writes for health and wellness websites. She continues to expand her knowledge by staying up-to-date on current health issues and trends in healthcare.

Jennifer has a Bachelor's degree in Biology, and is a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.). She received both degrees from the University of Santo Tomas, one of the top-ranking schools in the Philippines. She is currently working on becoming a fully licensed physician in the United States.
