Hello,
I’m a senior at Thousand Oaks High School in California. I was born in New Jersey and moved to Southern California in 2020.
I love to hike and try new things with my family, my two dogs and a newly adopted cat. I like to play tennis and have been playing for almost eleven years. I also love to listen to music and try various instruments. I played viola for four years as part of my school orchestra but have tried to learn various other instruments like piano, ukulele and most recently exploring a south Indian stringed instrument called veena. I’m very interested in neuroscience, and medicine.
I have immersed myself in coursework and research on various aspects of neuroscience and medicine, starting as early as my middle school days. My recent experience with observing and interacting with patients during my volunteering at my local hospital, as well as at a rural hospital in India has strengthened my resolve to become a physician and to provide the best possible personalized care to patients, despite socioeconomic disparities.
