Ever since I was about 7 years old, I have been fascinated with healthcare. Before every doctor’s appointment I researched my symptoms and gave myself and family members diagnoses. My parents would laugh at me and call me silly, but when their results were strep or flu positive like I had predicted they encouraged me to pursue the medical field. I am passionate about helping others and educating future patients on how to better their health. Because of this I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Biology with a minor in Human Nutrition.
I understand that working in healthcare you must have outstanding communication skills and empathy to effectively treat patients. Being able to have a positive outlook and work as a team player is also crucial to the healthcare field. Going to see a provider means putting your trust in the hands of a dependable and knowledgeable physician and that is what I hope to become. Attending the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and being accepted into the Physician Assistant Program is the next step in fulfilling my dreams.
Being an immigrant at a young age is just one of the challenges I have conquered so far in life. I know how to overcome and persevere through whatever may come my way to reach my goals. I am determined to make a difference in other peoples’ lives because serving others is my top priority. Providing care to not only my family and friends, but also the people of my community, is my greatest passion in life and I plan on working hard every day until I can achieve that.
