I am most proud of getting into medical school as a first-generation woman of color. My path to medical school was filled with challenges and obstacles and I would not be where I am today if it weren't for my community and support system.
You might be surprised to know that I have been playing volleyball since I was 12! We even had a team with my peers in the UWSOM E-21 class. Go Beta Blockers!
