Bio

I am a recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh from the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Neuroscience with a Conceptual Foundations of Medicine Certificate. I am passionate about medicine, specifically about providing quality, compassionate care to undeserved communities with the goal of improving health outcomes. In addition, I enjoy volunteering my time to help people and communities in need. I recognize the importance of leadership, teamwork, and adaptability when it comes to completing assigned tasks. I am able to efficiently and effectively adapt to novel situations to overcome any obstacles or challenges that I may face. I am also passionate about learning and strive to keep an open mind and a positive attitude when collaborating with others.
