I'm a Biology student on the Pre-Med track at the University of Miami, minoring in Health Administration, with a GPA of 3.57/4.0 and the UM Presidential Scholarship. My path toward medicine has been shaped by hands-on experience in clinical settings — from primary care to ophthalmology to orthodontics — where I've had the chance to observe patient care up close and understand what it takes to serve people well.
Outside the classroom, I've always been drawn to building things and leading teams. I founded a mobile app, GOT NEXT, as part of a youth entrepreneurship program and continued developing it long after the program ended. I've also captained a varsity basketball team, led an environmental club, and taken on leadership roles across campus organizations. I'm someone who likes to combine a strong academic foundation with initiative — whether that means starting a project from scratch or stepping up to lead a team.

I first got the idea for GOT NEXT, a mobile app, through the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) program, where I developed a business plan, pitched it to industry professionals, and learned the fundamentals of market research and pricing strategy. I later carried the idea forward as my Senior Signature capstone project at Staten Island Academy and have continued building on it since graduating.
I served as Varsity Basketball Captain at Staten Island Academy, leading team practices and mentoring underclassmen while balancing a demanding academic course load. I also captained the Varsity Soccer team.
Alongside athletics, I co-founded and served as President of the NY Environmental Club, where I organized sustainability initiatives and school-wide environmental awareness events.
