My life goal is to become an Oncologist or Psychiatrist who provides affirming, trauma-informed care. Through personal experiences and professional work, I've witnessed the mental health and cancer treatment disparities faced by LGBTQ+ people of color. I've made it my mission to bridge gaps in care and be a clinician who not only listens but truly understands my patients' unique lived experiences. I play alto and tenor saxophone and hope to integrate music therapy into my therapeutic approach to help my patients work through their trauma. I will start medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine this summer and hope to obtain scholarships to make my transition to medical school smoother.
