About Me

About Me	I’m applying to medical school next cycle, just finished the MCAT, and am currently trying to get some more clinical experience. As a future physician, I want to work towards a community with equal access to healthcare. In my free time, I love to dance and love to be outdoors!
Favorite Quote	Whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you
Special Interests and Hobbies	I’m on a competitive dance team (bhangra) at Rutgers University and I have always loved dancing. I also really like hiking and being outdoors.

My Goals

My Goals for This Year

Apply to scribing opportunities and start scribing (or other clinical experience)

Start volunteering as a tutor for underserved communities

Start working on my personal statement

Start short-listing which medical schools I want to apply to

Prioritize self-care more often

My 5 Year Goals

I would be almost done with medical school and applying to residencies (maybe surgery, but not too sure yet!)

My 10 Year Goals

If I do choose a surgical residency, I would still be working towards completing that. If not, I might be done with residency, and I might start working as a physician!
