About

MAJORS
MINORS
AND GOALS

Driven with a passion for medicine, my Majors are in Chemistry with an emphasis in Biochemistry and Psychology with an emphasis in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. I aim to learn more about the chemical and biological functions of the body, and how they contribute to the field of medicine, in addition to broadening my knowledge in mental processes and how they contribute to human behavior and the functions of the brain. I am doing a minor in Health Dispairities in Society to learn more about how to provide equal access to healthcare to the  marginalized   members of my community  and minimize discrimination of minority patients in the field of medicine.

Once I complete my undergraduate education, I aim to pursue an education in medicine and become a practicing physician in the field of Neurosurgery. In addition to becoming a physician, I aim to continue pursuing research outside of medical school with an interest in Alzheimer’s disease and learning more in order to seek improved preventative measures and - ultimately - functional cures.
