FinalistBio
I am an aspiring physician passionate about bridging neuroscience, psychology, and patient care to improve mental and neurological health. With over three years of crisis counseling experience, I have developed strong skills in crisis management, empathetic communication, and patient support which are essential qualities for a future doctor.
My background in neuroscience and psychology equips me with a deep understanding of human behavior and the mind-body connection. Through research and clinical work, I have applied scientific insights to real-world healthcare challenges, strengthening my ability to think critically and advocate for evidence-based solutions.
I am committed to serving underserved communities, ensuring equitable access to mental health care, and integrating research into medical practice. This scholarship will help me continue my journey toward becoming a physician who not only treats patients but also drives systemic change in healthcare.
