I have trained in clinical laboratory sciences, with a lifelong goal of attending medical school. My enrollment began this fall at a school in New York. I am passionate about serving women, specifically those from disadvantaged and underserved backgrounds. My upbringing as an immigrant woman of color and a low socioeconomic standing has taught me many difficult lessons and has given me invaluable knowledge and compassion. I am active in my community and passionate about student service and leadership, specifically advocacy for women. In the future, after becoming a physician, I hope to be a kind and nurturing provider that my patients see themselves in, that they can trust and rely on through their years and life events. I love exercising and making effort to treat my body well through proper nutrition and education. My interests include running, cycling, kickboxing, cooking, baking, reading, and gardening.
