Hometown: Toronto, ON
Program: Vancouver-Fraser Medical Program (VFMP)
Year in Program: 2
What inspired you to pursue your program?

So many things have inspired me to pursue medicine – mostly it is the opportunity to make a difference at the individual level by being someone my community could lean on for support during their most difficult moments.

What are you most looking forward to this year?

Coming into second year, I am excited to spend more time getting to know my professors and my peers – exploring their passions, experiences, and seeking their advice as I try to determine where I should cast my sail in the vast ocean of medicine.

How are you making personal wellness a priority during COVID-19?

COVID-19 has caused a lot of anxiety and accordingly, personal wellness is more important now than ever before. For me, it is taking time out of my day, no matter how busy I am, to make sure that I am doing the things I love (see below).

Favourite physically-distanced social activity?

The 3 R’s: Running, Reading, and Relaxing
