About

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Ursinus College in 2019 as a Biology and Spanish double-major. My GPA is 4.00/4.00 Spanish, 3.99/4.00 Biology. I maintain a vibrant interest in health care, medicine, anthropology, and art. Passionate about making positive change, I strive to initiate improvement not only in the lives of the patients but also in the field of healthcare as a whole.
