My outside interests include sports and movies.

...order to help make medical care and life-saving devices, like EpiPens, accessible to those who need them. To this end, I plan to pursue a rigorous, interdisciplinary course of study that includes not only healthcare-related courses like epidemiology and global public health, but also humanities courses like Spanish and psychology. In doing so, I could begin to acquire the knowledge needed to identify illnesses and understand treatment plans, as well as the empathy and creativity...

I have a passion in these fields and look to enhance students' understanding of the concept as opposed to merely memorizing...

...was a teaching assistant and tutor for the introductory biochemistry course. I cherished the opportunity to bring peace to students who were facing the stresses of college, and I have always found it equally rewarding for myself when I help a student get an idea to "click" in their head. My tutoring approach focuses on developing notetaking strategies and a systematic approach to breaking down information to form strong connections between ideas. The path to...

Since everyone has different ways of thinking, teachers in a classroom cannot compensate for every individual.

As a goalkeeper on the Colgate...
