It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact moment I chose to be a doctor - since childhood, I’ve felt called to the medical field. It’s a part of who I am, woven into the fabric of my being. I’m named Mary, after my brave grandmother who fought cancer for nearly twenty years.

As a musician, I was ecstatic when I learned about Weill’s “Music and Medicine” initiative. It was exciting and validating to find a school that saw as much value in both fields as I did.
