WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:
I chose Roosevelt because of the social justice mission and I stayed because of the dedication of my professors to my academic journey
MAJOR/MINOR:
Philosophy/Pre-med
WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:
I believe philosophy plays a large role in making decisions in the medical field, and emergency medicine is the ideal field for me because it is hands-on and fast paced.
DREAM JOB AND WHY:
An FBI profiler because I watched Criminal Minds once and I love over analyzing things.
EXTRACURRICULARS (CLUBS, ORGS, JOBS, INTERNSHIPS, VOLUNTEER WORK, ETC.):
CASSAC, volunteer at Rush University Medical Center and Village Leadership Academy, and I do jiu jitsu for fun.

No breaks. The grind never stops.
FAVORITE QUOTE:

ADVICE FOR INCOMING STUDENTS:
Don’t compare your progress to other people’s progress, because everyone moves at a different pace. You might have to take a class twice. You might fail an exam. Don’t let that discourage you because at the end of the day, persistence is what gets you places. Also, celebrate your successes!
CAUSE YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT AND WHY:
Firstly, I am an advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, but I am honestly passionate about any cause that betters the quality of life of those who experience trauma in general.
FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM:
THE ROYALS. WOO! LET’S GO ROYALS!!
