What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth in healthcare, research, and community service.

I am an incoming medical student at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, accepted into the Early Assurance program for the class of 2029. My academic journey began at The College of New Jersey, where I earned a BS in Biology with a minor in Finance, achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.8 and consistently making the Dean's List. My education has been complemented by relevant coursework in accounting, microeconomics, and biomedical ethics, which has equipped me with a well-rounded perspective in both science and business.

Throughout my professional and volunteer experiences, I have demonstrated leadership and a commitment to healthcare. I was the CEO of a winning team in the Mayo Business Plan Competition, where we developed a MedTechAI platform aimed at enhancing operational efficiency in the medical industry. Additionally, as an EMT with Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, I have responded to over 400 medical emergencies, collaborating with various first responder agencies. My research experience includes analyzing flow cytometry data and creating artificial neural networks to study neuron behavior, showcasing my analytical skills and dedication to advancing medical knowledge.
