About
Up and coming on my 21st birthday, I’m often found studying for a micro-bio test, planning a new event for campus residents, or leisurely sipping a cup of finely ground Folgers coffee to relax. As an aspiring pre-med student, I often have a filled schedule, but I always find time to creatively come up with new event ideas and support his coworkers as an RA of Mathes as well as go outside and enjoy beautiful Bellingham WA. Starting as a Lifeguard and later promoted to Headguard at a local pool in Port Angeles this started my trajectory towards a medical career. Teaching CPR, First Aid, and strong swimming technique gave me a lot of satisfaction to look forward to taking my interests in treatment to the next level in the medical field. I want to bring humanity back to medicine. One of the major problems that I hope to help with is communication on an interpersonal level with patients. Studys show that when patients receive more personalized treatment for their disease, their health improves to a better level than patients who are treated impersonally. I eventually aim to graduate medical school and go into palliative care or general surgery as a doctor. In my free time I Enjoy taking his Prius out to lake Whatcom and go sailing with friends and enjoying the cool breeze and freaking out my girlfriend by doing dangerous maneuvers in the water. I also enjoy playing tennis and going to the gym frequently. I love video games as well like Minecraft, Stardew Valley and Elden Ring.
