Personal Interest
I am currently on my path to applying to medical school. My passion is to become a plastic surgeon where I will be able to share my perspective with others. The message I want to convey to current undergraduates in STEM is to not give up even when you feel like that is your only option left. To always remember, we have all been through it, and if you really put in all your effort, you can surpass anything. I want to contribute to the LSAMP alumni group by helping encourage undergraduates with their studies/extracurriculars.
