| Interest Extra | I hope to gain insights, guidance, and support from the BMIM Network to help me on my path to becoming a doctor. I’m excited to learn from others who have overcome similar challenges. I intend to contribute my unique perspective as a student with a strong academic background and extensive experience in clinical research. My journey through demanding academic pursuits and hands-on research while playing Division 1 Football has provided me with valuable insights that I believe can inspire others facing similar challenges on the path to medical school. Additionally, I aim to foster a sense of community and mentorship within the network, building upon the support I have received. Ultimately, my objective is to help increase the representation of Black men and Men of Color in the medical field. As I continue on this path, I am committed to using my experiences to uplift others and contribute to a more diverse and inclusive future in medicine. |
| Bio | I aspire to attain an MD/PhD and become an integral part of a dynamic and collaborative team dedicated to practical medicine and clinical research. My passion is rooted in Neuro-Medicine, with a specific focus on investigating the link between mental health and disorders like Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), and other neurodegenerative diseases. I am particularly interested in studying these conditions in underserved communities, especially among Black Men who have honorably served our nation. |
