2026 Update: I’m a student who’s really passionate about healthcare and helping people, especially through what I’ve learned from shadowing in oncology settings. I’ve worked a variety of jobs that have taught me responsibility, communication, and how to connect with different types of people. As a first-generation college student, I’m driven to make the most of every opportunity and give back to my community. In the future, I hope to become a physician and make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
