Personal Facts/Hobbies:

Hi Hi :) Here’s just a little bit about me!

Where my academic journey started:

I took a 2-year gap after high school and did a bit of soul-searching. I remembered my dreams of becoming a doctor and decided I was now ready to work toward this dream. I then enrolled in my local community college for two years and then transferred to BU to finish my undergraduate degree in biology. After graduating I decided to enroll in the MAMS program at BUSM excited to strengthen/ solidify my academic skills and gain some research experience.

So if you ever find yourself in a position of challenges academically, career, and or in life please reach out. I come from a place of understanding and will gladly listen and help in any way I can :)

My hobbies:

When I am not volunteering, studying, or doing research I am singing my heart away with my guitar. I love writing songs and even post some of my originals and song covers on YouTube!

I also like making vlog-like videos of my life. I love getting to see how I change, grow, and develop as a creative and human :)
