Plans
After graduating, I hope to combine my love for math and science with my passion for helping others by pursuing a career in medicine. For the next year and a half before beginning my college journey, I will continue to explore the medical field by shadowing doctors and by conducting research at the UPMC Hillman Academy over the summer. Besides educational endeavors, my commitment to community service will continue after graduation, and I do hope to continue playing Ultimate Frisbee in college.
