Bio

I am a hardworking person. I am a final year Medical student (to be a neurosurgeon after Med School).

I would be great at helping others because I myself am hardworking and would motivate other people to work hard as well. I am also good at grasping concepts and explaining them to other people. For this reason I assisted my classmates with their schoolwork. I am able to be assertive and to take a leadership stand, skills which were improved by my role as prefect at school.

Achievements
