I am a first Gen student who is an aspiring patient advocate physician I expect to serve underrepresented populations in medicine. I hope to become a mentor and pass down my knowledge to pre-med students that feel discouraged from pursuing their dream careers. By creating a supportive environment, I can help promote personal development and growth. I want to continue serving my community to improve it, create positive change, and inspire others to do the same through volunteer work within medicine.
