Passionate About:

I am pursuing a medical degree because my passion lies in saving as many children and adults as I can. I would love to become a neonatal surgeon and conduct research on Alzheimer's disease someday. I want to also produce a method for chemotherapy that is less painful and give better results, and make it affordable for everyone to use. I would like to travel and shadow doctors at different rural areas to learn more about what I can do to better improve the medical industry to allow everyone, especially rural communities, to get the same medical care as everyone else. I want to volunteer my time to help treat patients and give them an equal opportunity to get the help they need. My passion is helping people and being a catalyst for social change.
