About

I am a diligent student who is driven to work in a field that will allow me to use my education and past experiences that I have gained in the past years to enhance and expand my existing knowledge in medicine. From working in the theater department for four years, being in the Academy of Science and Medicine, taking dual enrollment classes, in the National Society of High School Scholars and the International Thespian Society, and other outstanding achievements. I know that these teachings I have learned will help me achieve my future plans in healthcare as I want to accomplish my desire to assist and aid others who are seeking for that same support and change.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Working in healthcare and specifically becoming and OB/GYN is my ultimate dream, I truly believe that working in this field are for people who want to enhance and show others their strong desire to provide assistance. I intend to work with dedication and with most sincerity as passion and hardship is the key to success.

Graduate school interests

I plan to attend medical school after obtaining a bachelors degree from UC Riverside, as I want to experience new and exciting adventures in medicine where I know I will be able to find my main inclination in healthcare to help and treat others. I want to be in a white hospital coat that my parents knew I always wanted to wear, going room to room helping and treating patients, specifically being there with women in the hospital on the most exciting day of their life, and I can even see myself bringing an innocent life into this world like I have always wanted too.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy reading as this has given me a wider vocabulary and advanced speaking skills. Cooking and baking has also been a strong achievement where I am able to follow instructions and practice to improvise. Playing tennis and basketball has taught me to become competitive and to enjoy and overcome challenges. Sewing costumes and clothing has also taught me concentration, problem solving skills, and hand-eye coordination.
