I transferred to UNCC as a graduate of Mitchell Community College with a degree in business administration. I am currently pursuing my B.S. in Biology and will graduate Spring 2020! I plan to apply to medical school following graduation. I joined AMWHO UNCC for the opportunities it provides to talk about challenges in health care, and to collaborate with people interested in applying their skills to health-related fields. I believe that making healthcare more accessible requires everyone working together to understand all of the intricacies in order to develop creative solutions.
