The Pretty Med
Using my lived experiences, degree, research, and platform to support others on their path in medicine while advocating for enhanced surgical outcomes for patients of all backgrounds.
“If they don’t give you a seat at their table, you make your own table and invite others to sit.”

Lifting As I Climb
The biggest asset one has in this journey is social capital. The key to success in pursuing medicine is understanding the process and I’ve found a lot of students of color just don’t know what they don’t know. I hope to use this website and my social media platforms to bring vulnerability transparency into the process.
Med School Zoom Party Panel Series
The Med School Zoom Party is an annually hosted educational series with a historically successful turnout of 150-600 attendees per session! The mission of this series is to provide a free, accessible platform for premedical, post-baccalaureate, and medical students to gain valuable, sometimes unspoken wisdom regarding the journey to medicine. Diverse groups of medical students, deans of admission, faculty, and resident/attending physicians are invited to speak on a variety of unique topics relevant to a career in medicine. Med School Zoom Party is a hybrid of personally invited panelists and a public call for medical students and resident volunteers as panelists.
Tap Into Resources
Tap Into Resources
While I can’t promise to provide every single thing necessary for your journey to medicine, I hope to provide resources that help you kick start your research into ways to enhance your candidacy for medical school, but also things to think about along the journey.
