What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and growth in medical research.

I am a dedicated Medical Doctor candidate at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, with a strong foundation in health behavior research and a passion for advancing medical knowledge. My academic journey has been marked by excellence, as evidenced by my 4.0 GPA in my Master’s program at Washington University, where I also earned the Valedictorian title.

Throughout my research experiences, I have honed my skills in study design, patient recruitment, and data analysis. At NYU Langone Health, I executed comprehensive research studies, while my role at Baylor College of Medicine allowed me to investigate critical areas within urology. My commitment to enhancing patient care is reflected in my work as a Patient Care Technician at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, where I prioritized family-centered care for children battling cancer.

With numerous publications and presentations at prestigious conferences, I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic medical team. I thrive in collaborative environments and am driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact in the field of medicine.
