About
I'm a biomedical emgineering major with a finance minor at West Chester University, and at the heart of everything I do is my desire to grow, serve, and create a better life; not just for myself, but for the people I love and the communities I care about. Whether I'm in class, at work, or volunteering, I try to move with purpose. I'm someone who believes the right combination of compassion, curiousity, and commitment, you can truly build a life that's both fulfilling and impactful.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I see myself working and involved with both healthcare and finance, these two worlds shapes how I think and what I care about. I'm working toward becoming a medical doctor or general surgeon, because it brings me joy and there's something sacred being able to heal people with your hands and your heart. At the same time, I'm pursuing finance because I've known what it's like to grow up without financial security and even now, I carry that anxiety about money with me. I want to gain the knowledge and skills to build generational stability, not just for me, but for my family. My goal is to reach a place where I can support both the passion I have for healthcare and the freedom I want for my future. I believe finance will enable me to do both.
- Graduate school interests
Down the limne, I'm planning to apply to medical school, with a priority in programs that value service, innovation, and leadership. I'm also considering MD/MBA programs along the way, where I can keep growing in both fields while learning how to lead with both my head and heart.
- Outside the classroom
Outside of school and work, I like to keep things balanced. I enjoy watching movies, going out for brunch or dinner with friends, hitting up local events or concerts, and just being in spaces where I can relax, vibe, and stay connected. I love to play basketball whenever I get the chance, it's one of the few places where my mind feels completely clear.
