Bio

As a future neuroscientist/neurosurgeon, I am driven by a profound commitment to revolutionize the medical field. My ultimate goal is to enhance access to advanced medical care and procedures in underserved regions. However, pursuing this dream requires attending a reputable college, which unfortunately presents a financial challenge for my family and me. I believe I am a great candidate for any scholarship because of my limitless potential to make change.
