I’m a dedicated and compassionate aspiring medical professional with hands-on experience as a dental assistant and a lifelong passion for healthcare. My commitment to helping others is matched by my strong communication skills and ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Farsi, I take pride in being able to build trust and understanding with patients and peers alike. Through my academic achievements, leadership roles, and exposure to influential figures in medicine — including a Nobel Prize winner — I’ve developed a clear vision of the kind of impact I want to make in the field. Whether working with a team or speaking in front of an audience, I bring a warm, people-first approach to everything I do. I’m excited to continue my journey in medicine at a university like UT or Baylor, where I can deepen my knowledge and contribute meaningfully to the medical community.
