As a young woman from a single-parent household aspiring to fulfill my career ambition of becoming a pediatric specialist after attending medical school, being selected as America's Choice would mean so much. If selected, the awarded scholarship dollars would play a critical role in furthering my financial ability to attend medical school.
As a future pediatrician, my dream is to one day open a community summer camp for disabled and disadvantaged children met through my practice. In doing so, my dream would become a rewarding reality and allow me to "live" my social impact initiative (Find Your F.R.E.D.D.Y.: Fostering Rewarding Engagements with Disabled and Disadvantaged Youth) - a cause that has been near and dear to my heart from a very young age.
The driving force behind my many years of hard work and sacrifice has always been my vision of utilizing my practice as a means to aid the youth of today reach their goals and learn to walk together with their peers to build a better tomorrow for America.
