My path to medicine began in pharmacy, where I was first inspired by the potential of novel treatments to help many. Working directly with patients showed me how rewarding it is to make a difference in someone’s life face-to-face, a realisation that continues to shape my passion for medicine. Thanks to the Shaw Foundation Scholarship, I am able to focus fully on my clinical training and embrace opportunities to explore, learn, and grow.
