Summary
What are your plans after graduating?
I plan to put my major in biology and minor in Chinese to good use if I am lucky enough to attend medical school following graduation. I hope to become a Chinese-speaking physician who can lower language barriers between patient and physician with an overarching goal to provide quality care to the underserved communities of Nevada.
What is the most important piece of advice you'd give to an incoming college freshman?
Join clubs, talk to your professors, explore! You’ll be amazed at the amount of wonderful people that you’re surrounded with throughout your undergraduate career. I know it may sound cheesy, but being in college is such a privilege for many people and as a first generation student, I especially resonate with this, so appreciate every moment, take risks and take yourself out of your comfort zone– even if it’s just for a little while!
Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?
I hope at that time, I will have finished my four years of medical school education, have matched into a residency program that aligns with my values, and am doing what I love– medicine, science, music and service.
