I plan to pursue a career in medicine beginning with my undergraduate studies on a pre-medical track and continuing through medical school. My goal is to become a physician and I am especially interested in surgical fields because they combine hands-on work and the ability to make a direct difference in patients’ lives.

At the same time I understand that medical training involves exposure to many specialties and I am open to learning from a wide range of clinical experiences before choosing a specific path. My academic background and personal experiences have helped me develop a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a commitment to caring for others. Ultimately, I hope to practice medicine with both technical skill and compassion; placing patient well-being at the center of my work.

Music has been an important part of my life from an early age. As a child, I was introduced to the piano and later the violin, though I did not fully appreciate these instruments at the time. That early exposure, however, became a strong foundation when I rediscovered music at the beginning of high school through Persian traditional music. Learning instruments such as the tar and oud allowed me to engage deeply with the emotional depth, storytelling, and melodic complexity of Persian music, a tradition known for its expressive modes and rich musical heritage. During high school, I performed with fellow musicians at various events both within and outside of school. I continue to share my musical work through my Instagram page, @amtabesh, where my performances and recordings are available.

In addition to music, basketball has been a long-standing personal interest. I began playing at the start of middle school, and despite the academic demands of high school, I remained committed to the sport. I earned a place on my high school’s basketball team and consistently made time to practice, often using the game as a way to clear my mind and recharge. Basketball has taught me discipline, persistence, and teamwork, while also providing a valuable personal outlet.
