Bio

My name is Shamica Fordyce and I am a Biology student at La Salle University on a pre-medical track, with a minor in Business Administration and Management. I have over four years of experience in healthcare, working as a nursing assistant and medication aide at Meridian Senior Living, where I provide direct patient care to residents in assisted living and memory care. I am also currently shadowing a dermatologist at Temple University Hospital, where I have gained valuable insight into clinical practice and physician decision-making. I am driven by a genuine passion for science and a deep commitment to serving others as I work toward my goal of becoming a physician.
