Additional Information
I am a sophomore at GGC who plans to attend medical school after graduating in 2026 with a BS in public health. I am interested in becoming an OBGYN with a focus in gynecology oncology. To help me achieve this I stepped my foot in a entry level position at the hospital as a sitter. As a float pool sitter I have also worked on and became familiar with most hospital settings . Some of which include ICU , PCU, ED, Cardiac Unit , Neuro Unit, Med-Surg, Peds, and many more. I am very excited to announce that I plan to study abroad this year with my chemistry professor to research and develop low cost and effective ways to treat malaria.
