About Me

My Journey in Science & Medicine

From an early age, I was drawn to the medical field, inspired by the potential to impact lives through research and education. At Cornell University, I founded MedIn Black, a pre-medical mentorship organization that has successfully raised $120,000USD , enabling students to access vital resources, medical school tours, and mentorship programs.

Beyond mentorship, my cancer research focuses on innovative treatment approaches to improve patient outcomes. My work explores targeted therapies and precision medicine strategies, aiming to revolutionize cancer treatment by making it more effective and personalized. I am particularly interested in studying how specific genetic and molecular markers influence cancer growth and resistance to treatment. My goal is to contribute to groundbreaking medical advancementswhile ensuring aspiring doctors, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, receive the guidance and support needed to succeed.
