Having always been a visionary, I have found myself faced with a variety of challenges, humbling myself in a way that has reinforced the importance of prioritization. I firmly believe that studying abroad and traveling are one of the highest forms of education and have best prepared me to become the best doctor I can be. I developed a more worldly perspective, developed my social consciousness, and grew in cultural knowledge. Coming from a multicultural background, I want to give something back to an ever-growing multicultural society (does the wording help here?). The unique patient-doctor relationship is central to the practice of medicine, and I know that the way I grew up, as well as my experiences, have equipped me with the qualities to achieve my goals.
