Summary

I'm an adept, driven student with a passion for orthopedics and the medical field. I have a deep commitment to helping other people. Part of the reason why is to honor my late grandfather's legacy, as he is my biggest inspiration. My experiences in volunteering in clinics and overcoming my own challenges in life have strengthened my drive to make a meaningful difference one day.
