  • Career choice as a child: As a child, I was very much a dreamer constantly daydreaming about what my future might look like and imagining all the different possibilities. My career interests changed often depending on what captured my imagination at the time. For a while, I wanted to be a meteorologist because I was terrified of tornadoes and wanted to better understand what caused weather to change on a whim and how storms formed. Later, I became fascinated with interior design. I loved the idea of transforming a house into a home and was drawn to how people create spaces that reflect warmth and personality.

  • Favorite self-care practice: Being present and taking time to reflect, especially when I’m out in nature. I love soaking in the sun or spending time on the water. It helps me feel grounded and recharged. I’ve also learned that sometimes self-care means simply doing nothing or binge-watching my favorite show. Self-care doesn't always look the same and truly depends on where you’re at and what your mind and body need in the moment.

  • Piece of advice for pre-professional students: "My biggest piece of advice for pre-professional students is to remember that your application is your story. Use it to show how your lived experiences have shaped your values, perspective, and motivation for a career in health. Don’t fall into the trap of comparing your journey to others. Everyone’s path looks different, and that’s exactly what makes your story worth sharing. Admissions committees want to get to know you - your growth, your “why,” and what you’ll bring to the profession."
