Plans
I want to focus my future career by combining my three passions: athletics, science, and culture. I want to become an orthopedist, potentially specializing in sports medicine. As an orthopedist, I want to pursue research in the creation of early detection devices. I also wish to study abroad, where I can learn about healthcare in other countries. Integrating myself into a different culture is a vital step that will help my ability to make accessibility of devices globally available.
