BIOGRAPHY

I am a third-year medical student at the University of Buckingham, currently placed at Milton Keynes University Hospital. Through numerous internships across the globe—including in the United States, Canada, Brazil, and the UK—I have developed strong interpersonal skills and the ability to effectively communicate with individuals from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.

Growing up with my father, a cardiologist, as a role model, I have been immersed in the field of cardiology from a young age. His dedication to patient care and medical excellence has inspired me to pursue a career in the field of cardiology. My exposure to cardiology extends beyond clinical practice; I have participated in research projects such as ASPIRED and Cari-Heart, which have deepened my understanding of the field and ignited a passion for contributing to its advancements.
