I am truly honored and ecstatic to be chosen as a recipient of the WIlliam W. Lander, MD, Medical Student Scholarship. Thank you so much to the Montgomery County Medical Society for this wonderful opportunity. Growing up in Abington Township, working as an EMT and emergency room technician in the area, and now starting medical school not far from home at Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, I am excited to continue my education with this support. Thus far, medical school has been a thrilling challenge. Not only am I learning the intricacies of the human body and discovering my interest in trauma surgery, but I am continually inspired by my opportunity to be a real compassionate comfort to patients. Patients are suffering and living with unimaginably difficult circumstances. I want to be a doctor prepared to provide excellent care, but more importantly prepared to support my fellow humans through these trying moments. I am looking forward to being in the trenches of patient care helping vulnerable people through
