UConn School of Medicine

Raised in Greenwich, Conn., I attended UConn and obtained a B.S. in kinesiology with a concentration in exercise science in 2012. While growing up in Greenwich and going to college I volunteered for different organizations to gain experience. I volunteered for American Red Cross, Greenwich EMS, Hartford Hospital, and other organizations. I also worked for various companies such as New York Sports Club, Greenwich Hospital, and CSI-Greenwich Neurosurgery. Working for Greenwich Hospital I was able to gain exposure to different groups of patients and how their backgrounds impacted their understanding of the care that they were getting and were entitled to. I also learned how important it was to work as a team and unit. This is something I hope to practice and learn more about when I take part in UST activities. I feel that when we, as health care providers, work as a unit it allows us to optimize our care for the patient. I look forward to working with my fellow classmates and colleagues from other professional schools.
