Summary
I have spent my life in the service of others and am presently in the process of transitioning into the medical field. My spare time is spent working as a Health Advocate helping Type 2 Diabetes patients get off the medication and lead healthier lives by the way of proper nutrition and exercise. Currently I am taking a Diabetes Certificate Program, for health care professionals, from the American Diabetes Association and I have been accepted to SUNY Binghamton for the Spring 2024 semester, as a Pre-Med with a Biochemistry major. My goal is to be out of medical school and starting my residency by the end of 2030.
