Favorite Part of HMSS: The emphasis HMSS places on serving the community is what initially drew me to the program. Now, I am so glad I have found a welcoming and supportive group of equally driven and like-minded students. I am also thankful to have found some of my closest friends in the HMSS. (My HMSS advisors are also my favorite people at FSU too!)

Why Medicine?

Studying medicine has been my long, cherished ambition. Growing up in Palm Beach County played an important role in how I view the world of medicine. I have first-hand experience with trends of poverty, ambivalence, and health disparities. Certain communities, like mine, lack adequate access to medical care and other essential resources. It is my goal to return to my community and similar underserved communities as a physician because the need for health care is universal.
