For as long as I can remember, I always knew I wanted to help people.My mother noticed my caring and nurturing spirit, even in my young childhood. She’s always quick to remind me of how I would carry pocketfuls of ladybugs and butterflies home with the intent to raise them; and also how I would tote my kittens with me wherever I found myself. That desire to help, heal, and nurture has followed me my whole life. Seeing the difference I can make in people’s lives is what has driven me the most. This is why I am pursuing a career in medicine.During college, I had the opportunity to work with my local aging and disabled community, solidifying my desire to continue helping others. I am passionate about my clients and the relationships I have built with them as I helped them with their everyday tasks. In the end, I believe I gained much more from my clients than they have from me. I learned how to connect with people on a personal level, build meaningful relationships, time management, and much more!As a minority raised in a rural town, I have noticed the growing health disparities in my community. I have also taken note of the lack of representation in the medical field, and have made it my duty to close these gaps. I am passionate about bringing accessible and affordable healthcare to my community, but also having exceptional healthcare being delivered by more people who look like me.My mission is to break through healthcare and medicine, so that I can fulfill my calling. I am still in the early stages of my career journey and I am excited for what awaits me. If my passion, leadership, and experience aligns with you, I look forward to meeting and connecting with you! Let’s help each other to reach our goals!
