I was born and raised in Queens Village, New York but my parents are immigrants from Guyana and India. Currently, I am attending Queens College as a Biology Major. I plan to become doctor; a cardiovascular surgeon because I love to work on matters of the heart. I am a hands on type of person and I would like to have a job where I can physically go in and fix a problem. Besides school work and weight training, I love to play the drums. One of my greatest accomplishments is becoming the church drummer, two years ago. When I was starting out I used to be nervous before I played at every service but now I have gained the confidence to play without getting nervous. 

As I stated before I want to become a cardiovascular surgeon. This will include four years of undergraduate college, four years of medical school, and six years of residency. The journey is long and tedious but in the end it will all pay off. By joining the NYNY fellowship, I hope to gain some of the skills that will help me earn my medical degree. I want to have the skills necessary to do well at the medical school interview, residency interview and ultimately, the job interview.
