Foster School of Medicine in hopes to first enhance my own knowledge, exposure, and understanding of socially and culturally diverse settings; I aim to become more aware of differences found between individuals and how recognition of these variances can have a positive impact on communication.

My life experiences and community have driven and inspired me to become a physician. And as an underrepresented future medical professional that grew up in an underserved inner city area I can only envision myself years from now in a rural or urban, inner city area committed to working and serving in minority communities and underserved and…
