I’m 30 years old & grew up in Kosciusko, MS before moving to San Diego, CA where I spent my teenage years. I joined the Air Force in 2013 and served as a medic in various outpatient departments for nine years before completing a military sponsored post-baccalaureate premed program at George Mason University, where I also earned a Master of Science in Biology. I'm currently an MS1 at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, MD, projected to graduate in May of 2028.
