About

Recent UCLA Biology graduate with a passion for medicine, public health, and patient care. My experiences include community health outreach through Pilipinos for Community Health (PCH), leadership and mentorship as a UCLA Resident Assistant, and research roles focused on healthcare innovation and translational medicine. I am committed to serving diverse communities, addressing healthcare disparities, and advancing patient-centered care. Through clinical volunteering, research, and leadership experiences, I have developed strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that I hope to continue building as I prepare for a future career in medicine. Currently seeking opportunities to gain clinical experience, contribute to healthcare teams, and further develop the skills necessary to become an effective physician.
