“

My desire to become an osteopathic physician is rooted in both lived experience and belief. I’ve seen how powerful it is to approach health through a lens that values the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Being born in a rural area has made me deeply aware of the barriers to care faced by underserved communities. My goal is to serve in a setting where I can provide compassionate, accessible, and continuous care, especially to populations that are too often overlooked.”
