United Kingdom
I’m an ambitious A-Level student studying Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Spanish, with a strong passion for medicine and neuroscience. Born and raised in Italy with Albanian roots, I’ve grown up with a deep appreciation for both science and cultural diversity. My goal is to pursue a career in neurosurgery combining precision, empathy, and curiosity to make a real impact on people’s lives. I’m always eager to learn, connect with others, and gain experiences that bring me closer to the medical field. Alongside my studies, I’ve played football semi-professionally for the past three years and currently captain my U18s team. Balancing training and matches twice a week with my academic workload has strengthened my time management, discipline, and leadership skills qualities I believe are essential both on the pitch and in medicine.
