I'm a pre-med student at Rutgers with a big love for medicine, sports, and community. I'm EMT-certified, work as a physical therapy aide, and spend my free time playing basketball, debating in Model UN, and mentoring others through service work. I'm passionate about helping people, whether that's on the court, in a clinic, or just showing someone around campus.

Describe your college experience

College has been amazing so far. I've gotten to join clubs like Medic Zero, play intramural basketball, do Model UN, and get involved with RUSA, so there's always something new going on outside of class. It's been a great mix of meeting people, staying busy, and actually enjoying campus life instead of just going through the motions.

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there early, whether it's joining a club, talking to someone new, or trying something outside your major. I wish I knew how quickly time goes by, so it's worth getting involved right away instead of waiting until you feel "ready."

Favorite class

I love philosophy class because it pushes me to question ideas instead of simply accepting them. The discussions make me think more clearly and see issues from angles I hadn't considered before.

Career goals

After college, I hope to become a sports medicine physician. I want to combine my interest in medicine with my love for sports, and help athletes stay healthy, recover from injuries, and perform at their best.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal night out is honestly just hanging out with friends, nothing too planned out. Maybe grabbing food somewhere, walking around campus, or just sitting around talking and laughing about random stuff. I like nights that are simple and low-key.

High school or secondary school

Forest Hills High School

Favorite spot on campus

College Avenue because of it's busy bustling streets and the atrium!! The diversity in food options is so important to me as well as the architecture and wonderful College Ave Gym
