Growing up in a quiet, rural town, I learned early on how much community matters when resources are scarce. But it was my own time navigating hospital stays—experiencing medicine from inside the patient’s room—that quietly transformed my perspective and gave my path its true purpose. Experiencing healthcare as a patient showed me that real healing relies as much on steady, comforting presence as it does on clinical skill. Bridging my engineering background in medical technology with a deep love for working with children, I am driven to pursue a path in pediatric anesthesiology, pediatric neurosurgery, or medtech innovation. Whether advancing technical tools or caring for a child in their scariest moments, my goal is to bring gentle empathy, precision, and world-class care back to young patients and rural communities like the one that raised me.
