Goals and interests
- Career goal
After graduating from both undergraduate and grad school, I plan to work as an anesthesiologist. Being an anesthesiologist has interested me because this career would allow me to medically assist a large variety of people. This job path requires the capability to safely and efficiently administer anesthesia under any circumstance. It requires many years of schooling and training. Even still, anesthesiology is my intended job path and it what I will continue to pursue throughout the duration of my educational career.
- Graduate school interests
As a current undergraduate student pursuing a bachelors degree in biology, I plan to go to a grad school in eventuality. I aim to join JABSOM on Oahu to work towards a MD. In order to accomplish this, I have stayed one of the top students at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and have participated in a multitude of extracurricular activities pertaining to medicinal practices.
- Outside the classroom
When I am not participating in clubs or working in labs my hobbies include: Swimming (workout laps and snorkeling), singing (participating in choirs), surfing, playing piano, reading, and writing short stories.
