I enjoyed the opportunity to get exposure to rural healthcare at the end of first year through Discovery Week. It was a chance to step out of the classroom and see healthcare delivery in action, where resources may be limited but creativity thrives.

Why did you become a Student Ambassador?

For me, the Ambassador Program is about more than just guiding prospective students through the application process. It's a chance to share the fervor and dedication that drives us toward a noble profession. I view this role as a personal journey of growth and empathy, where every connection made strengthens the bonds of our medical community.

I enjoy hiking, cooking, exploring new recipes, photography, and reading historical fiction.

I love going on walks at Gibbons Park.

Do you have a personal motto or favourite quote?

I resonate with this quote by Rumi: "Let the beauty of what you love be what you do."
