Biography
My future goals include organizing and managing community-based wellness programs that promote healthy lifestyles and provide adequate resources in under-served populations. Ideally, I would like to develop my own foundation that supplies these services to the homeless as well. I believe that educating people, especially minorities, is a vital factor in advancing society, preventing illness, and reducing health disparities. By doing this, we can work toward achieving health equity and ensure that all people have access to and receive amazing healthcare regardless of race, class, gender, or sexual orientation
