After graduating from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Biology, minor in Psychology, I look forward to expanding my education as an incoming medical student pursuing my M.D. at UCI SOM this coming August! Working with others and helping people has always been one of my passions and goals in life, and it has driven me towards pursuing a career in medicine. My time spent as a Practice Medical Assistant in both cardiology and medical specialties, as a Clinical Researcher in medical oncology, and as a hospital volunteer during my time at Northeastern have reaffirmed these passions. I am so excited to start this new chapter at UCI!
