Although my dad is one of the first physicians to inspire me upon my pre-med journey, his school experiences primarily taking place in the Philippines have resulted in our navigating the much different and more competitive process of applying to undergraduate and graduate/medical schools in America. However, I am so grateful for all the support I’ve received from friends and esteemed people in various professional areas. They have sacrificed the time to mentor me and share their invaluable experiences -- their precious pearls of wisdom have challenged me to grow to who I am today. As such, this has fueled my passion for mentorship and cultivating an environment in which collaboration and encouragement are emphasized. Despite me just starting out on my pre-med journey, my enthusiasm to explore, especially with others who are simply excited about life, has developed a dedication for working with others to build, uplift, and challenge one another to pursue our own unique dreams/experiences. The Pre-Med Community is particularly special for its focus on facilitating such an atmosphere, a contrast to the otherwise competitive culture of pre-med students. With my co-mentorship program coordinator, I am only thrilled for the opportunities we’ll have for our members to work together and learn from one another in the medical community!
