What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to public health initiatives and enhance my clinical skills in a supportive environment.

I’m a medical student at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, currently working towards my MBBS and due to begin an intercalated BSc in Global Public Health in September 2025. My academic experience has given me a strong foundation in scientific research, critical appraisal, and clear communication of complex ideas which has allowed me to bridge the gap between clinical evidence and accessible health communication. I’ve also explored broader public health issues through work on topics such as the opioid epidemic. With a growing interest in the intersection of medicine, research, and communication, I’m keen to gain further experience in fields like medical publishing, public health, and health-focused content creation.
