My family would often offer small gestures of kindness water, food, or a little help with travel expenses to those waiting for their loved ones. Helping others became second nature to me from a young age," she recalls. "My love for science blossomed early, making the decision to study medicine feel not just natural, but inevitable."She chose to focus on internal medicine because it allows her to care for patients in a comprehensive way, addressing everything from preventive care to chronic disease management.
