Prospective Medical School Applicant with a wide array of both Medical, Professional, and volunteer experiences. The variety of carrier fields and skills I have accumulated has bolstered my work ethic and social skills. From varsity sports in High School to leadership and training positions at current jobs and organizations, I have a high aptitude for leadership and team communication. Through a variety of shadowing experiences such as; Emergency Medicine, oncology, family medicine, first responders, and even veterinary medicine, I have observed and internalized how to appropriately conduct myself in a Health Care environment regardless of pace or acuity.

As someone who has observed the health care process from start to finish I offer unique perspectives and appreciation to any team or organization.
