As a high school student who knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, I took every math and science class that was offered at Phoenix Christian. Not only did these classes help to prepare me for my college courses, but I also was able to receive college credit for the dual enrollment and advanced placement (AP) courses that I took at PC.
What has life been like for you after graduating from Phoenix Christian? After graduating from PC (Class of 2014), I attended the University of Arizona in Tucson for undergrad. I majored in Physiology and minored in Spanish and Public Health. During undergrad, I
became actively involved with a global health organization and spent my summers working in clinics in rural Honduras, Nicaragua, and Ghana.

I will graduate with both my medical degree and Master of Public Health degree this Spring.
