Why did you choose your major/what do you want to do with your degree?

I plan on going to medical school and becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon.

What is your favorite thing about the Camras Scholars Program?

My favorite thing about the Camras Scholars Program is the leadership and networking opportunities it has given me. 

Where do you see yourself in 20 years?

In 20 years I see myself working at a teaching hospital as a cardiothoracic surgeon.

How do you think you best represent what it means to be a Camras scholar?

Some projects and achievements that speak about me as an individual and representative of this scholarship organization include the clothing drive pillar project I organized to give back to the local community, executive board member of the Chemistry Club, senior leader of RKVYC- a community service and fundraising youth group, being the first student at my dance studio to complete my graduation ceremony (arangetram), and being the first assistant teacher at my dance studio.
