4th year medical student at Masaryk University (Czech Republic) - in London until 20/09
In addition to my studies, I have developed a keen interest in both medical education and medical technology. I'm very passionate about giving back to the community, therefore I've taken on formal and informal roles as an active mentor and tutor to students of lower years. Transitioning from my secondary school education in London to a new country was not without its challenges. One of the most important skills which I've learnt in my education thus far has been perseverance, especially in adverse conditions. I'm always thinking about how I can contribute to existing projects and how I can further improve my own skill set. My
blogging site was set up last year alongside paired social media platforms and I have plans to revamp it this summer with some exciting new content. (
