More About Me:

Fun Fact about Yourself: My family is from Syria, so my culture is a huge part of my life! My parents speak Arabic at home, and we enjoy arabic cuisine most nights!

Dream Job: My dream job is becoming a physician. It has always shocked me the way that even the most brilliant providers can become desensitized to the suffering of their patients. Sometimes physicians can forget the impact of their words on a patient’s life. I want to be a doctor that creates change in the system. My dream is to be able to empathize with a patient, while using my analytical skills and knowledge to help them.

College & Major: I am undecided on my college as of now. My top two choices are The University of Tulsa and Loyola Chicago! I plan to major in biology and minor in Spanish!

Future Plans: I plan to attend medical school after college! In the future I hope to be a physician so that I can give back to the community that has helped me so much!
