Hi! I grew up near Boston, MA, but as of August 2024, I live in Canton, MI! I plan on majoring in Dental Hygiene because I am very passionate about the dental field and advocating for improved access to preventative care. One of my favorite organizations at UM is the Pre-Dental Association (PDA), it’s been an incredibly helpful resource, whether I'm organizing my thoughts about the future or connecting with others who share similar interests! In my free time, I enjoy calming activities like knitting, reading horror and mystery novels, hiking, and cuddling with any of my four cats. I also love getting creative with cooking, baking, crafting, and playing FPS video games <(•ᴥ•)>

A fun fact about me: I never moved homes until coming to Michigan!

Looking back on my first year with HSSP, one of my favorite parts was the strong sense of community that was formed through all the amazing events and bonding opportunities. I also really appreciated the four observations we had access to. The requirement of shadowing different types of healthcare providers pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me learn about career paths I never would have considered! My observations taught me a lot about myself like how my skillset fits into my interests, what my unique strengths and weaknesses are, and the different types of provider–patient interactions I'm drawn to.
