High school graduate passionate about healthcare and LGBTQ+ advocacy.
What I'm looking for
I am an adaptable and creative high school graduate with a strong interest in healthcare and LGBTQ+ advocacy. My journey has been marked by a commitment to intersectionality in healthcare, and I have taken significant steps to prepare for a career in medicine. I have studied and earned certifications in basic medical terminology and calculus, which have equipped me with essential knowledge for my future endeavors.
As the founder of the TransFormative Health Collective, I am dedicated to creating a network of resources for transgender patients, aiming to mitigate discrimination and promote equitable healthcare. My leadership roles in various organizations, including serving as chapter President for menstruation advocacy non-profits, have allowed me to promote awareness and advocate for marginalized communities. I am passionate about conducting research, as demonstrated by my independent project on gender-affirming care, and I continuously seek opportunities to learn and grow in the fields of biology and non-profit work.
