Overview

​

Real change happens when many work together. As president of the Connect2Health chapter at my school, I lead my peers in serving our community. I’ve organized donation drives, volunteer events like packing food and naloxone kits, and fundraisers that make a real difference. I’ve also partnered with health sciences schools at the University of Arizona through University District Street Medicine to coordinate free public health screening events, bringing much-needed healthcare services directly to those in need.

​

Facing the harsh realities of inequity in my own community has often been frustrating, but the satisfaction of seeing my efforts directly benefit people is beyond compare. As I pursue a career in healthcare, I am committed to continuing hands-on service and working collaboratively with teams to maximize positive impact.

Coming soon: My EMT training and ride-along externship have solidified why I chose medicine. The split-second decisions, adrenaline rush of saving a life, and profound satisfaction of making a difference confirmed there is no greater gift than restoring health or being the difference between life and death. After a summer preparing to become a licensed EMT and working alongside ambulance crews, I can’t imagine myself in any other field. This is the work I want to dedicate my life to.
