I am a first-generation Congolese American who majored in Health Sciences/ Public Health. I am interested in pediatrics and global health and aspire to be a Doctor someday by positively impacting other people's lives. I am in my last year pursuing my bachelor's degree in public health. After my bachelor's, I plan to obtain my Master's degree and then continue my doctorate. I am more passionate about helping families each step of the way and taking care of others. I love caring for patients, listening to their stories, being compassionate, and showing trust. I am a great candidate because each experience in my life has uplifted me and made me more assertive with God's help. Losing my father at ten has also impacted my pursuit of healthcare. I am a risk-taker, willing to learn more and adapt to whichever change comes my way. I am truly grateful and will never take it for granted to have immigrant parents who decided to leave their country to offer me a better education. However, as a first-generation student without parental support, I work full-time during my academic years to fulfill my dream. Becoming an educated woman as a physician in America is what I aspire to become one day. Thank you, bold.org, for allowing us to advance in our goals and achieve them while becoming debt-free.
