Summary

What are your plans after graduating?

I am honored and privileged to say I will be starting my medical school journey in fall of 2022. I am super excited to start this next chapter of my life, as I know it will be a long one. I have been looking forward to it since the day I moved to this country, and now have realized this is only the start to hopefully bigger and better things.

What is the most important piece of advice you’d give to an incoming college freshman?

First of all, I can’t believe four years of undergraduate have gone by that quick, to the point it’s my turn to give advice. The most important advice I could give, and one that I received myself four years ago: ENJOY ALL OF IT! Unlike high school, college is a different world. It’s not just a change in academia, but also it’s a time of growth and development. This is a time where many learn to live independently, be adults, and seek out new adventures. My biggest advice would be to enjoy it all, try new things, take new classes, meet new people, and don’t stress over the little things. Life is much bigger than we realize, and it’s best to enjoy it as much as we can!

Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?

I hope to have completed my residency in a specialty that I enjoy and feel connected with. I hope to also be having my own medical practice here in Nevada, contributing and giving back to the people and communities that I grew up in and have helped shape me into the man I am today.
