About Me

Hello! I'm a medical student at UC Davis School of Medicine. I am also a recent graduate in Global Disease Biology at UC Davis and originally transferred from Mission College!

In my spare time, I love organizing alongside my peers to problem-solve, mentoring and teaching peers, going hiking, and much more. I also love teasing spending time with my family, criticizing movies and TV shows with my younger sister, gardening, storytelling, and playing overly complicated board games.

As a part of my practicum project, I researched women's experiences with childbirth and psychological trauma in clinical settings in an effort to bring more attention to people's diverse experiences in healthcare settings.

Feel free to browse my Instagram! My sister and I have a Youtube channel. And this is my Linkedin.

As the rest of my website already emphasizes, I love photography! As with all things, I'm still always learning and growing; my main interests are nature and wildlife photography, though I dabble in taking portraits of friends and family. I can't get enough of nature and visiting a wide assortment of places.

I also enjoy playing badminton with family, teasing my dog, and (attempting) painting and various other creative endeavors.

I am very passionate about public health, medicine, and advocacy. In particular I enjoy taking a critical lens to the role of medicine in society and how patient care can be improved at the patient-provider level.
