I’m a rising junior from middle of nowhere, PA with dreams to someday work in Emergency Medicine or Surgery. I’m majoring in Cultural Anthropology with a focus on medical anthropology and patient-centered care. In my free time, I enjoy cuddling with my dog, going to the gym, and procrastinating everything and anything.
