Goals and interests

Career goal

My long-term career goal is to become a dermatologist, with a strong commitment to advancing healthcare in underserved communities.

After completing my medical degree, I plan to specialize in dermatology, using both clinical practice and research to tackle skin conditions that disproportionately affect diverse populations. In addition to providing direct patient care, I aspire to contribute to the field through innovation in dermatological treatments, advancing cosmetic dermatology, and promoting awareness around skin cancer prevention.

Ultimately, I hope to establish a dermatology practice that integrates cutting-edge technologies, emphasizes patient education, and ensures access to quality care for all individuals, regardless of their background

Graduate school interests

Upon graduating from college, I plan to pursue a Master's in Public Health (MPH) to further my expertise in healthcare and public policy. This advanced degree will equip me with the skills needed to address public health challenges, improve healthcare access, and create innovative solutions for communities in need. I am committed to advancing my knowledge and making a lasting impact on global health
