Summary

  • I am a second year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin hoping to pursue a career in radiation oncology and continuing to grow in my passion for public health. I'm currently working on a research project looking at outcomes in the treatment of early stage small cell lung cancer as well as exploring other research in radiation. I am also active in the free clinic community and serve on the board of the Wisconsin Association of Free and Charitable Clinics as the Standards of Excellence Chair. Through my free clinic work, I'm participating in projects relating to the social determinants of health and to the wellness of patients in an urban clinic setting. Lastly, I am partnering with the Aurora Cancer Center-Spanish Clinic to explore global health in Milwaukee and expand my knowledge of cultural relationships in medicine.
