My interest in the field of healthcare and medicine, specifically in the cross-section of women’s health, stems from observing both the advantages and disadvantages of the medical industry’s approach to women. This area is of great interest to me as I believe in the need for a more inclusive and compassionate healthcare system that centers around the needs of women, particularly in the realms of reproductive and preventive health. 
 

 I am passionate about working with women and children especially because they represent some of the most vulnerable populations in healthcare. Women, as primary caregivers, navigate the healthcare system not just for themselves, but also for their children and families. That’s why I believe that providing care that gives women the chance to empower themselves and make informed decisions about their health profoundly impacts families and communities. Also, children need a supportive healthcare environment that prioritizes healthy development, and I am drawn to playing a role in this crucial need.  
   

I am particularly interested in working with minority groups because they face unique health disparities due to systemic inequalities in access, resources, and cultural competency within the healthcare system. For example, minority women experience higher rates of maternal mortality. This drives me to focus on providing equitable, culturally sensitive care that addresses these gaps and empowers women from minority backgrounds to take control of their health and well-being. 
   

My passion for obstetrics and gynecology comes from a desire to help women throughout some of the more significant moments of their lives. Whether through routine reproductive health care, assisting with family planning, or providing support during pregnancy and childbirth, I find the opportunity to guide women in these stages rewarding. Obstetrics and gynecology also offer the chance to focus on preventive care, helping women detect and manage conditions early on.  
   

Overall, my passion for public health, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology demonstrates my commitment to improving the health outcomes for women and children, especially those from marginalized communities. I believe I can contribute to a more equitable and compassionate healthcare system by focusing on these areas.
