Degree: University of Massachusetts at Amherst - Bachelor, Anthropology

I am a prospective medical student currently awaiting my decision. At home, I am a dog mom of 4 and a skin/haircare aficionado. I love reading novels or watching anything Studio Ghibli produces after work. My biggest stress reliever is fitness and I try to workout daily. To fuel those workouts, I have become quite the grill master, especially with steaktips. I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen and have recently taken up baking to add to my arsenal. On the academic side of things, I love connecting real life to academics. Reading the backs of products to see which organic compounds are present, calculating 20% off sales while shopping, and trying new compost piles to fertilize my garden are some of the ways I utilize my science background. Aside from my STEM experience, I hold a degree in medical anthropology and have completed extensive research into women's health and racial inequities. They are some of the driving forces behind my career in medicine. I believe that access to education is the key to moving society forward.
