Class of 2023
College/University Attended: Cardiology or Ophthalmology
Why did you choose to attend the B.A./M.D. program at UMKC?

Growing up, my parents inspired me to serve those around me. I knew at the end of high school that I want to be a doctor, as medicine is the best combination of science, humanity, and leadership. I then considered what my future would be like at a traditional 4-year undergraduate university. While there are many ‘pre-med’ students, most do not end up becoming doctors. I chose to come to UMKC because I valued the assurance: if I work hard and follow the path ahead of me, then I will become a physician. Instead of worrying about vying for limited seats, I may now focus on being the best medical student I can.

What have you enjoyed most about your experience at UMKC?

The first physician I shadowed is a graduate of UMKC, so I knew coming in that the community is very strong. While I love the patient experience from the very first year, I believe that one of UMKC’s greatest strengths is the close-knit community. Medical school is hard, but having good friends going through the same struggles helps you to band together. I have met remarkable people in my class. But it doesn’t stop there: the faculty are invested in student success and are interesting individuals. The upper year students are also very helpful, answering questions about forthcoming classes and giving advice. There is no need for competition at UMKC, especially when everyone is focused on collaboration.

Student organizations involved with/honors and awards:
  • Angela Barnett Award for Humanism
  • Sarah Morrison Research Award
  • Sojourner Clinic External Affairs Webmaster
  • Biochemistry Supplemental Instructor
  • Camp Cardiac Faculty Recruitment Director
  • School of Medicine Student Ambassador
