What advice do you have for pre-health aggies?

My advice for pre-health aggies is to explore different health fields and expand your career knowledge, whether it be in the form of talking with professors or taking up any interesting opportunities. You never know until you try!
 

Is there anything you wish you would have done differently in your pre-health career?

I wish I had taken better advantage of the plethora of student resources on campus during my first year. Planning out my career path by myself got overwhelming and stressful, but now I don’t hesitate to reach out to my advisors, seek out application help, and hang out at student community centers.
 

What has been your favorite memory at UC Davis?

My favorite memory at UC Davis has got to be my first visit to the Manetti-Shrem Museum of Art. Not only were the exhibits breathtaking and insightful, but I also got the chance to create my own art piece at an open event.
