Ivy Jenkins
My Father worked in Nursing for 25 years. He was my biggest inspiration from the moment i was old enough to even comprehend what medicine was- besides nasty cough syrup i would refuse, or an inhaler i took daily. I've adored biology, science, and human anatomy and care, a passion fostered by my fathers footsteps. Medicine is my life- i want to dedicate my career to its progression, to its sustainability, to its innovation. Im going to make my father proud, but im going to make that little girl who adores science even prouder.
