Through this website, I share my journey of personal growth, vulnerability, and empathy through the experiences that have shaped who I am. By reflecting on my setbacks as well as my achievements, I show how each challenge has helped me grow stronger and more compassionate.  I still get shy. I still doubt myself. But I’ve found strength in vulnerability and purpose in helping others feel seen, heard, and valued. I lead with kindness. I listen with intention. I stay curious. And I show up, not because I have to, but because I believe that presence itself can be powerful.

I’m a high school student who loves to learn about the world. My passion is exploring medicine, and I am fascinated by the older ways of practicing medicine. I believe that learning about the history of the places I visit and experiencing their culture helps me see how ancient traditions and discoveries have influenced the way we practice medicine. I am also a writer, a researcher, and above all, a curious person who believes that passion isn’t limited by age. My experiences have given me a global perspective that now shapes how I approach medicine and service: I start with listening, work to bridge language gaps, build and advocate for community, stay genuine, recognize that help is measured not by hours but by meaningful impact, celebrate even small wins, push beyond comfort zones, and evolve personally.
