Hello class! I am a double major in Psychology
and Biology with a minor in Religious Studies. I am currently in my fifth year
here at the University of Oklahoma. I transferred here my Sophomore year from
Texas Tech. I am a medical school applicant so I have a lot of school left! I
am hoping to be either a Psychiatrist or an Obstetrician. I am graduating this
May and hope to start medical school this coming fall.
I was born in Michigan, however, I moved to Texas when I was two years
old so I consider myself a Texan. I graduated high school when I was 17 years
old so I will only be 22 when I graduate from OU. It is my plan to attend Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and live in Ft. Worth. I am from
Colleyville, which is only about 20 minutes from downtown Ft. Worth! I hope to
practice medicine in Texas so that I am able to work with hispanic populations
because many of them live in underrepresented communities that need physicians.
Traveling is my main hobby. I studied abroad
with the department of Religious Studies in June 2012 and lived in Israel for a
month. I’ve also been going to Mexico at least once a year every year since I
was 12 years old. In 2013 and 2014 I went to Honduras for a Medical Brigade
where we provided healthcare for communities where some of the people have
never even seen a physician before.
Public health is an extremely important concept to me and I also plan to
pursue a masters in Public Health while working on my doctorate.
Here is a picture of me at a school in Amapala,
Honduras with a little boy. My team and I taught these children how to brush
their teeth and wash their hands.
