About me: As an immigrant, I have witnessed health disparities both in the setting of an underdeveloped country and here in the US. My firsthand experience with inequities in access to healthcare in Senegal and here in the States has given me a global perspective, while my interactions with patients and families have led me to an understanding of the importance of health and the transformative nature of medicine on a person’s life. One of my long-term career goals is to care for vulnerable populations in domestic and international settings. The World Medicine Pathway has been a great stepping stone and opportunity to learn more about global health and ways in which to incorporate it into my future career.
