Summary
As a future dermatologist, I am deeply passionate about the science behind skincare, dermatological research, and patient care. My curiosity drives me to explore how different skin types react to treatments, the biochemistry of skincare ingredients, and the impact of dermatological conditions on public health. Through hands-on clinical experiences, leadership in STEM organizations, and medical research, I strive to bridge the gap between science, innovation, and healthcare accessibility.
