In June of 2022, I was placed on a surgical skills rotation in Neurosurgery at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Before this moment, I had not ever considered becoming a neurosurgeon; however, this overwhelmingly positive experience lit a spark inside of me. Through a National Medical Fellowships experience sponsored by the Bristol Meyers Squibb Foundation this past summer, I explored healthcare disparities in cancer clinical trials, while also getting more hands-on experiences in the OR, including pediatric neurosurgery cases. I have recently started working on a few neurosurgical research projects, and already have two works-in-progress. Over Thanksgiving break, I flew out to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville to rotate within the Neurosurgery department. Complexity has always drawn me in, and I want to learn from the best, seeing the latest advances in neurosurgery. For this reason, I am very thankful to have been awarded a scholarship to attend the 4th Annual Mayo Clinic Update in Complex Neuroscience Patient Care. With such a wide array of backgrounds and areas of expertise around me, my interest in neurosurgery as a career has grown exponentially. It would be an honor to be so closely connected with my patients while working on a team where every member is integral in practicing the art of neurosurgery.
