Summary
The Marine Corps transformed me in many ways. It made me immensely resilient to working under stressful conditions. It enhanced my already poignant desire to help people in need. It instilled in me the importance of having a sense of purpose. Since leaving the Marines, my purpose has been to become the best medical provider I can possibly be. I've worked on ambulances, taken a CNA course, became IV certified, and am a full time student in a pre-med program with the hopes of becoming a doctor. I'm highly motivated, studious, a quick learner and passionate about helping people be well.
