In dance, you learn quickly that without pure dedication and drive you will never be successful. While talent can come naturally, skill and technique only come with hard work. I spent countless hours in dance studios growing up, working tirelessly to hone these skills and perfect technique.

My first, and possibly biggest, endeavor as an incoming student was joining PRISM, the Advanced Program for Integrated Science and Math. The program provides some of the most advanced undergraduate science courses at UM and I was eager to take on the challenge. The rigor of the classes pushed me to expand my critical thinking skills and explore my scientific interests through integrated learning approaches. Being a part of this program allowed me to advance myself academically, make valuable connections across scientific disciplines, and gain vital experience in group-based learning through peer-driven labs, discussion sections, and study …show more content…
The field is always growing and changing and I yearn to undertake in this lifetime of learning. I find it so exciting that one day I can serve people by improving their health and do so using cutting-edge technologies, some which may have yet to be invented. I may not be able to change the world on the whole, but small actions can have a big influence. I look forward to creating a positive impact on a personal level, treating holistically and compassionately, as this is a career path that calls for an understanding of the human experience as much as it does an understanding of the human body. It is this interplay of science and service that makes medicine so unique, so compelling, and so fit a profession for me to
