I watched her battle cancer like achampion. I was amazed by the positive impact the modern day technology,science and medicine had on her quality of life. She is cancer free today and strongas ever. This is what first drew my attention to medicine. As a college student, I majored in Biology and Psychology with hopes to pursuemedicine. Along the way I learned my passion to teach which initially started as aBiology peer tutor in my sophomore year of college. I thoroughly enjoyed learningand sharing my knowledge with other students to help them excel in their classes. Soon after I graduated from undergraduate, I continued my passion to teach withVarsity Tutoring back in 2014 where I tutored middle school children with Mathand Science. In medical school, I worked as a tutor to incoming students inAnatomy and Physiology. I also received the opportunity to teach and share my knowledge during amedical mission trip to India that focused on medically underserved populationsand their families. In this role, I was able to provide comprehensive medical carein the newborn nursery and pediatric urgent care. Further, I stepped into the role ofcounselor and instructed the families on teaching the child healthy habits andproviding information on nutritious diets, vaccinating, and proper weightmaintenance. In addition, during a summer internship in Thailand, I had the unique opportunityto learn and teach both Western and Eastern-style medicine in a diverse practicesetting. Having the experience of both educator and practitioner to a variety ofstudent and patient populations, I have been able to strengthen my teaching,communication, and technical skills, all critical to strong performance in beingboth a tutor and a physician. Now as a third year medical resident, I take greatpleasure in teaching my medical students in variety of medial pathologies anddiagnoses. Teaching is an essential skill I will need in my career going forwardwhether it be teaching medical students or counseling my own patients and I hopeto continue my passion to teach as a tutor at Varsity tutoring.

I like to paint and knit.
