About
I am a fourth year medical student at the University of Exeter, currently studying down in Cornwall. I am fascinated by the social determinants of mental health, and I am considering pursuing both an academic and clinical career in psychiatry.

In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, baking, and going to the beach.
