Motivated by a deep passion for medicine, I am originally from Haiti, studying and aspiring to become a physician. My journey began in a country where access to emergency services is scant and healthcare inequities are part of everyday life. It was watching loved ones lose their lives out of lack of timely care that triggered my desire to pursue a career in medicine. Back in the United States, a new set of challenges awaited me. From learning the nuances of the English language all by myself to availing every opportunity presented by the school, but hardwork always pays off and I was able to graduate 10% of my high school with a 4.0 with a certificate in medical assisting at the age of 16. Beyond academics, I am committed to serving my community through translation at parent-teacher conferences for families in need, mentoring peers in STEM, and serving in leadership as President of HOSA, President of SkillsUSA and the vice president of the French club in high school. In college I hope to continue building a positive atmosphere, while staying involved in my community while improving my skills. My path thus far has carved a strong but gentle soul-one day destined to take on the profession of a doctor, lending sure and kind service when and where it is needed. With every step forward, I am committed to a vision of available and fair health, and a brighter future for communities like my own that have struggled in getting the support they need. :)
