I am a dedicated student-athlete and community servant whose path has been shaped by resilience, leadership, and a deep commitment to helping others. After my father’s life-altering accident, I stepped into roles far beyond my age—managing appointments, supporting recovery, and maintaining academic excellence—all while continuing to volunteer through Crusaders Athletics, the Franciscan Kitchen, and the Nashville Rescue Mission. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or serving my community, I am driven by the belief that adversity can build purpose. My experiences have strengthened my passion for medicine, leadership, and service, and I hope to use this education to uplift others facing the same hardships my family endured. With a strong work ethic, compassion for others, and the determination to create positive change, I strive to represent the values scholarship committees look for in future leaders.
