About

A family medical crisis sparked my interest in medicine. During my time at the University of California - Davis, my brother was in a serious car accident he was not expected to survive. He spent six months in the hospital and in rehabilitation, and I took a semester off to help. Spending time in the ICU, I was fascinated by the intensity and teamwork involved in critical care. Thankfully, my brother made a full recovery, but my desire to intervene in life-threatening situations had taken hold.
