Career goal:I am extremely interested in brain behavior, so I believe psychology is a potential prospect. Moreover, my senior thesis class has awakened a new found love for writing. As a result, I have also considered journalism.

Favorite memory from high school: My favorite memory from high school occurred my freshman year with my History Day partners, Hanya Qureshi and Natalie Kemp. That year, we were invited to present our project on Racism in Medicine at the First Bioethics Conference at Tuskegee University in conjunction with our History Day project on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. I remember the rush I felt being there, because I was so young and endowed with the opportunity to present in front of astute doctors at a prestigious medical conference.
