Program: Southern Medical Program
What attracted you to your field?

Growing up, I saw severe dermatologic diseases exacerbated by systemic barriers in remote northern communities. I knew I wanted to help close health gaps and better understand how internal diseases and social determinants of health could manifest through a person’s integumentary system such as their skin, hair and nails. Throughout medical school, my calling to dermatology was further solidified as I thoroughly enjoyed the procedural, medical, and humanistic aspects provided by dermatology.

What is your favourite moment from your time at UBC?

There have been so many incredible moments throughout the past four years— each time I received confirmation that I was moving through to the next stage or milestone, and how that moment felt when it sunk in, that moment of gratitude, and relief is always my favourite.

What is one piece of advice you have for students entering your program?

Medical school can be very demanding as well as rewarding. Creating and maintaining strong connections to community and relationships were instrumental to my overall success and wellbeing. Overall, don’t forget to take care of yourself so that you can take care of others.

What’s next for you?

I am excited to start at a world-renowned program like UBC Dermatology this July and continue my journey in health advocacy and becoming a well-rounded dermatologist.
