Why do you want to be a doctor?
“I worked as a public health microbiologist in California. I helped during the COVID-19 pandemic and realized that some communities were more impacted than others. That motivated me to want to work on the clinical side and provide care. I wanted to help address those issues and that’s what motivated me to become a doctor.”
Why did you choose the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU?
“I chose Burnett School of Medicine at TCU because of the small class size. I wanted to have a close relationship with my professors. I also like the unique curriculum, it’s engaging, and I walk away from a class session feeling like I’ve learned so much.”
What’s one thing your classmates don’t know about you?
“I love to sing, and I’ve actually done a few performances here and there over the years; nothing big or major. Maybe, I’ll find myself on the stage again.”
What’s next for you in your medical journey?
“I am looking forward to transitioning into rotations and getting more exposure to different medical disciplines. I’m interested in internal medicine but will also explore other fields to see if I have any other interests.”
