The timeline was
never the point.
I entered spaces earlier than expected. Then I learned how to make room—for my questions, for other young voices, and for the work I wanted to build.

Finding medicine
Clinical experiences at Riley Children’s Hospital, IU Methodist, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and through Global Brigades in Greece brought medicine into focus—not as an abstract ambition, but as attentive, collaborative care.

Finding research
In the Obukhov Lab at Indiana University School of Medicine, I supported work on endometriosis and menstrual effluent. Literature review, data organization, protocols, and laboratory work showed me how questions become evidence.

Building Her Health Her Future
I founded a youth-led nonprofit to connect women’s health education with access and advocacy. Leading a team of more than seventy women has taught me that meaningful change is both strategic and deeply human.

Building what’s next
Open Dose is the next chapter. For now, it is a space for careful work, curiosity, and possibility.
