About

I am currently a sophomore at the University in Utah majoring in Philosophy as well as Global Health, Society, and Policy and minoring in Medical Humanities and Pediatric Clinical Research. I received a certificate in Medical Humanities in my freshman year. I am a Research Assistant for the Child Adaptation and Neurodevelopment (CAN) Lab and work as an outreach ambassador for the Office for Student Success and Empowerment. I am also the secretary of the American Red Cross (ARC) club on campus as well as a Volunteer Recruitment Ambassador for the ARC Utah/Nevada region. I plan to use the skills I learn in college to become an excellent and well-rounded doctor and to provide the best medical care possible to people of all backgrounds.
