About

I graduated from Carroll in 2019 with a double major in Health Sciences and Chemistry, both degrees were central to my decision to pursue medicine. While my hard science classes were fascinating in their descriptions of the mechanics that drive medicine, my Health Science classes challenged me to understand medicine as more than biochemical processes. The Health Science curriculum gave me an understanding of the medical system that I desired to enter, and the opportunities for improvement that our generation must address. Within this system, there is also the crucial understanding that medicine is--above all else--a human science. Health Sciences helped me to appreciate this, by exploring the barriers to medicine that exist within our community, and thinking of the people first and the science second.

Entered the University of Washington WWAMI medical school in 2021.
