Summary
Driven by a passion for medicine and motivated by personal experiences, I have embarked on a meaningful journey to serve patients and positively impact healthcare. Through my involvement in emergency medical technician (EMT) work, research, and scribing, I have witnessed healthcare disparities and become committed to addressing the root causes. Volunteering with individuals affected by social determinants of health has further deepened my understanding of the importance of equitable healthcare access. My diverse background in bioinformatics, teaching, and clinical practice has provided me with a comprehensive perspective on medicine and reinforced my determination to pursue a career as a physician.
