UConn School of Medicine

As a first-year School of Medicine student, I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to and participate in the UST. I grew up in the small city of Kalamazoo, Michigan and moved to East Lyme, CT for high school. I next ventured to Brown University, where I earned a degree in chemical engineering. At Brown, in collaboration with the non-profit organization, Youth in Action, I helped develop a math and science tutoring program for disadvantaged Providence, RI high school students. The greatest strengths of the UST program are two-fold: it offers opportunities to learn about other healthcare disciplines, and it provides information on how to work together to solve urban healthcare problems. The problem-solving and analytical thinking skills that I developed during my engineering studies will be valuable as we work on creative and meaningful solutions. I approach my experiences with the UST program and medical school with an open mind and lots of enthusiasm.
