2023 Cohort
Interest: Medicine
Bio: I am from Portland, Oregon and a first-gen Middlebury College graduate where I majored in Neuroscience and double minored in Global Health and Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist studies. During college, I had the opportunity to work with gynecological cancer survivors which solidified my passion for medicine. I chose the MCA program because of its emphasis on hands-on learning and supportive learning community. As an aspiring physician, I hope to broaden my knowledge of the anatomical sciences to one day help better the lives of my patients. Some of my academic interests include women's health, mental health, health equity, and medical anthropology. In my free time I enjoy listening to audiobooks, binging reality TV shows, playing video games on Nintendo Switch, and spending time with my friends and family.
