Growing up as a first-generation American, I was eager to be a part of something bigger than myself, I wanted a career where I could help others. Serving others in medicine is such a unique, intimate, and humbling privilege — I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. With this financial support, I am pursuing my passion for internal medicine, where I believe I can do the most good. I am so deeply grateful for your generosity and proud to be a part of the GW community!
I vividly remember the call from Dr. Wright informing me that I had received a GW scholarship. I was so humbled. With financial support through this scholarship, I have been able to immerse myself in my studies, provide volunteer health care serves to underserved communities, and lobby for changes in health care policy. There are many opportunities to improve access to quality health care for minorities. My goal is to be a leader who can build bridges to quality health care for minority populations and to be a voice for those who are unable to advocate for themselves."
I am so honored and grateful to receive my GW scholarship. The generosity of alumni donors truly demonstrates a commitment to service, to community, and to the profession—commitments that I share. My dream is to break new ground in PT research, serve as a PT volunteer in needy communities at home and abroad, and provide the most up-to-date and evidence-based care to my patients. With this scholarship, I can continue to pursue learning experiences that will enable me to improve the lives of others. Thank you for your support and encouragement."
As a practicing pharmacist, I have witnessed the emerging need for more holistic approaches to health. People want to understand their options for preventing illness and managing their conditions outside of medication. A lot of wellness misinformation exists, and most pharmacists aren’t trained in integrative medicine. My goal is to become a naturopathic pharmacist so that I can provide diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and medication information to patients—a more holistic approach to healing and wellness. I am so thankful for my scholarship.
