Biography

What have you done since graduating from Gateways and what are your plans next year?

After graduating from Gateways in 2019 I worked as an emergency medicine clinical research assistant for no other than Rhode Island Hospital. My research focus was on improving opioid withdrawal treatments and emergency department substance abuse rehabilitation services.

How did Gateways prepare you for your future?

The Gateways program not only prepared me for the professional world, but also for the rigorous grind of medical school. My advice is don't be afraid to fail!

What advice do you have for the current/future students of Gateways?

There will be times when you succeed and many others when you do not, and both are just as important. Learn from your mistakes, work hard, and have fun the whole while.
