I am a biochemistry and psychology double major with a deep passion for improving healthcare, particularly in the realm of mental health. I believe that mental illness treatment can go beyond the conventional approaches of medication and therapy, which often fall short for many individuals. My goal is to explore new, innovative treatments that address the root causes of mental health conditions, particularly in children. I am committed to a future where we expand the ways we understand and treat mental illness, combining scientific research with compassion to improve both mental and physical well-being. I’m still navigating between becoming a Physician Assistant or a Psychiatrist, but my focus remains the same: finding ways to create lasting, impactful change in healthcare.
