About
From humble beginnings, and through passion and hard work, I have found myself at my dream school with what I feel is my calling of becoming a doctor finally within reach! I am a grounded, well-rounded student who is putting myself through college in hopes of making a significant contribution to the Medical community. I am much more than applications and transcripts reveal- my ardor is unmatched, my character is impressive (am I supposed to brag about that?), and I have only scratched the surface with my potential so far. I am looking to network, make an impact wherever I can, and fund my education with minimal debt.
My academic interests include everything but U.S. History, specifically anything involving the human body and mind. I was classically trained on the piano and violin for a decade each, which contributed significantly to both my education and character. I love Philosophy and was captain of my High School Lincoln-Douglass Debate team. Furthermore, during my time at UT I hope to rekindle the LD branch of the Debate team and contribute to my academic community! In my free time, I fill out scholarship applications, fish, and play chess (there is not much free time as a pre-med student).

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I have big dreams for the Medical field. First, I intend to complete my undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin in Biochemistry with a minor in Psychology (as there is that duality to practicing medicine). Along the way, I plan to become involved in clubs, MCAT prep courses, shadowing, etc. in preparation for Medical school; but above all I would love to perform very specific research on neuroscience and help revolutionize the study of brain chemistry on an individual level. Furthermore, I wish to attend Medical school (for what specialty I am so far undecided) and become a doctor. Once I finally graduate, I will pursue my academic interests in preparation to one day teach Medicine and have a hand in raising the next generation of healthcare providers!
