My true passion comes from helping others. Reaching, aspiring, determined, focused and aiming at becoming a positive addition, asset and member of the medical team in my community. My faith in God has always guided me. Born, raised, and experiencing life in a 3rd world country, my upbringing and experiences have given me humanitarian like values.

I went from one research project to the next, working on plant metabolites, DNA and food waste amongst others. In many ways, every professional quality I now possess was forged in the lab. There I learned how to work under pressure, operate effectively with a team and communicate with others. These qualities, I believe, are paramount to any good physician. Being able to communicate with fellow health professionals and staying serene, even when faced with stressful situations are commonplace in the field. As a physician, I’d be able to put everything science has taught me into improving the condition of other human
