Summary
As a senior medical student, I look forward to the start of my medical career as a junior doctor. My passion lies in making meaningful contributions to healthcare, guided by empathy, integrity, and a dedication to continuous learning.
During my medical studies, I actively sought opportunities to widen my experience in different fields of medicine by shadowing physicians, experiencing rural medicine, and assisting in basic physician training exams. I exercised teamwork and leadership skills by serving in and contributing to multiple student clubs, including as president of the Southern Adelaide Skin Society in 2023. I hold a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and have conducted research in healthcare microbial biochemistry, focusing on the virulence factors of Acinetobacter baumannii.
