Bio

I completed my medical degree at the University of Birmingham Medical School in the United Kingdom in 2022, taking a year out to complete further research in the History of Medicine for which I received a BMedSci in 2020. It gave me the chance to write a dissertation on the changes in anti-smoking agenda and campaigns throughout the 20th century in the UK, and lit up an interest in delving into further clinical projects. Throughout my time in medical school, I had a growing passion for teaching. Not only is it fulfilling being able to pass on your own knowledge, but it helps expand your own thinking in ways you may otherwise have not had the chance. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to educate colleagues on BLS early on during my studies; following this, I was able to pursue my joy for educating by forming bi-weekly clinical teaching sessions for juniors to aid their understanding on a wide array of medical topics.

Personal interest and hobbies: 
Hailing from the United Kingdom, it's normal for me to be a huge fan of soccer. Formula 1 is another growing interest of mine, with karting becoming a new interest that I'd like to put more time and effort into. Road tripping around Europe is one of the most fun things I have had the chance to do. A blast of different food, people and cultures over a short time frame is exciting and mind-opening, made better enjoying it with family. I would love to get the chance to do something similar in the US.
