Hi Lowell! I'm a M1 at HMS, and this is my first year as an NRT! I was born and raised in Thousand Oaks, California. I stayed local for college and went to the University of Southern California (Fight On!). During my time at USC, I majored in Human Biology and pursued a master's degree in Healthcare Decision Analysis (business/econ of healthcare and pharma delivery). In college, I led an entirely student-run shelter for college students experiencing homelessness, worked in Formulation Development at a genomic medicine company, and found new hobbies from weightlifting to Afro-Latin percussion. After college, I worked at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC as a Surgical Scholar on the Orthopedic Service. If you're interested in grassroots service work, biotech, surgery, health economics, music, dance, and more…. Please reach out!! I'd love to chat over a ~sweet treat~ or a matcha :))
