Previous Next What a blur of a week. 41 items of business, an emergency resolution drafted and adopted, 2 conference venues to scurry back and forth, 3 visits to a cat cafe, and several reunions with friends from all over the country. Also, a tiny spark of hope and madness.
AMA Annual 2019
I’m sitting at my gate in the airport, and despite trying my hardest to reflect over the past couple of days, it is difficult to put my thoughts into words. But to start: Oh, what a week it has been. The preparation leading up to and during this conference has been challenging. From juggling multiple […]
COSM 2019 was a blast
What an experience. Austin was so fun to visit, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn more about a field I’m interested in pursuing.

Another AMA Meeting Done ✓
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. -Winnie the Pooh Oh, how to put my feelings into words. I guess I can start with my initial hesitation with even joining the American Medical Association, given its history of staunchly conservative views on healthcare. Moreover, after witnessing the 2016 elections […]
M1 and Done ✓
This post is over a week late because just the mere thought of writing it continues to overwhelm me, not to mention the fact that it’s been a while since I’ve written anything. In short: I survived! /endpost But in all serious, what a year it has been. I don’t think I could’ve expected to […]
Hello, 2017.
It’s been a while since I’ve written any sort of yearly reflection, but I think 2016 calls for it. What a year. I tried so hard to write this yesterday and get it out “on time” before 2017 arrives, but I simply couldn’t (and frankly, still can’t) find the words. Personally and professionally, 2016 has […]
One Week In
and I’ve already learned that good coffee is life. It’s been over one month since I’ve moved to Baltimore, and it’s been…a lot. I’ve tried writing about this for a while, but it’s hard to describe so many new experiences. To be honest, I don’t feel the urge to write about it now, but I […]
Pending one last detail, I’m B’more bound!
So things have been interesting since that phone call on Tuesday. After submitting my financial aid documents on Tuesday, College Board took some time to process it before sending the information to Hopkins. I was able to receive my financial aid package on Thursday and…wow. It’s incredibly generous–just enough to be cheaper than Pritzker, which […]
De-waitlisted at Hopkins?!
Received a call from Ms. Mazza while driving my mom to work this morning! askjf;alsjf;al Just…what….life does not feel real right now. Out of all the schools where I’m waitlisted, I did not expected Hopkins to give me a call. (Frankly, I thought the slim chance of an acceptance would arrive via email!) I had […]
