I am most proud of my journey to medical school and succeeding in a difficult curriculum during the pandemic.
You might be surprised to know that although I love academics and school, I also love playing sports and staying active outside.
ElevateMeD is… a program designed to improve the number of underrepresented students in medicine as well as ensure their success in the medical field. It creates opportunities for us to connect and encourage each other as well as others from diverse backgrounds to attend and complete medical school.
