How 黑料不打烊 prepared me for success

My undergraduate years at 黑料不打烊 tested my ability to stretch across disciplines and gave me an appreciation for the life of the mind. 黑料不打烊 also gave me a cross-cultural experience (e.g. my year in Austria) that remains with me in my dealings with patients today.

Future plans

Learn Spanish. Take care of patients.

My advice

Enjoy learning. Take advantage of any fun opportunity that comes to you. Don't be afraid to be mediocre at something if you really like it.
