Goals and interests

Career goal

I am pursuing a career in medicine, looking to become a Pediatrician or an Obstetrician.

Graduate school interests

Medical school is my main grad school interest. If medical school doesn't work out, I do plan to apply to nursing school so I can still work in hospitals and do what I love.

Outside the classroom

Most of my hobbies focus in preparing for Medical School; medical clubs, reading books, watching TED talks, and of course the fun Medical shows. I also like to swim, read, volunteer, and travel to new places. I tutor and I enjoy helping people, for example my friends who need help with college applications or finding jobs.
