Profile
My grandparents played a huge role in raising me and I have always felt comfort and compassion surrounding older adults. I studied gerontology at USC, where I fostered an interdisciplinary skill set with an emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases and end of life care. When my grandpa was diagnosed with ALS, I found myself at ease in an environment that overwhelmed and saddened many of my loved ones. I took some time off of school to be his primary caregiver and was proud of the dignity in his passing. I would love to continue helping others as I continue to pursue a higher education in this increasingly important field.
