What health disparity are you interested in solving and why?
I aspire to be an OB-GYN specializing in gynecologic oncology to address disparities in cancer care access and outcomes for women, particularly women of color. Many women face barriers to early diagnosis and treatment, which can lead to worse outcomes in gynecologic cancers. By focusing on equitable, culturally sensitive care, I hope to improve survival rates and quality of life for women who are often underserved in the healthcare system. My goal is to provide comprehensive support and empower women to make informed choices about their health.
