HOMETOWN:
Chicago, IL
WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:
I chose Roosevelt University because I didn’t want to go away from home for school, but I also knew I wanted to be in the heart of downtown Chicago. I also really liked the diversity and inclusivity of the campus when I attended new student orientation.
MAJOR/MINOR:
I am majoring in Biology.
WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:
After freshmen year, I realized I wanted to follow the pre-med curriculum and major in biology. My courses are preparing me for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) as well as expanding my knowledge in biology, chemistry and health sciences.
DREAM JOB AND WHY:
My dream job is to become a physician, specializing in pediatrics. When I was younger, I had really bad asthma which meant I spent a lot of time in the hospital because I had difficulties breathing on my own. While being in and out of the hospital a lot, I developed a very strong bond with my doctor and his assistants who I still visit today. With that in mind, I want to be able to pay that back and be the support system to another child just like my doctor was for me. Apart from my own experience, I have a strong interest in healthcare and children.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY:
I volunteer at Community First Medical Center in Chicago.
