Summary

I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Santa Barbara. While pursuing my B.S. in Psychological and Brain Sciences, I was also competing as a Division I student-athlete. Balancing rigorous academics with high-level athletics has shaped me into a driven, and adaptable individual with a strong work ethic and a competitive edge. I’m eager to take the next step in my professional journey and apply the leadership, discipline, and teamwork skills I’ve developed through athletics, academics, and work experience. With a strong passion for healthcare, I’m motivated to contribute to meaningful work that makes a lasting impact.
