My greatest accomplishment would be educating those across the globe on the power of their mind as it pertains to health and disease. Through a combination of innovation, imagination, and by pushing the human body to – and beyond – its perceived limits, I believe we can change the game of preventative medicine. Much of our efforts today are based on reactive medicine, and it is a goal of mine to empower and inspire individuals, spanning from those living in rural communities, to athletes pushing their bodies to the limits, to harness the power of their mind, and take control of their health.

Little Rock, AR | Class of 2024
Growing up in the community I did, dreams never really existed. There was a multitude of intersectional variables that weighed on myself, family, and community. So reaching medical school and becoming a physician was the pinnacle of my “wildest dreams.” Now that I am in spaces I’ve never imagined, I believe that dreams grow and are dynamic, depending on your season in life. My dreams, however wild and audacious they may be, now consist of:
CEO of a non-profit whose goal is to champion health and wellness disparities in underserved communities; Dean of Diversity Affairs at a medical institution to play a role in increasing representation of POC in medicine.

My dream, ignoring all boundaries, is to join the ranks of the NASA Astronaut Program as an aerospace physician and astronaut.

I want to start my own company as a physician/engineer to actively innovate on medicine as I practice it. I want to be able to take the knowledge and stories I learn from my personal and clinical interactions and apply them to make an impact on the field as a whole. As the son of a mother with MS, I want to be able to actively work on innovations for those who feel like they cannot escape their diagnosis.
