Extracurricular Activities and Interests
Outside of academics, I have a strong passion for music, having completed up to Grade 5 in piano with ABRSM. I find that the discipline, structure, and creativity of specifically, classical music closely mirror the intricacies of the human brain. I'm also actively involved in sports, playing tennis recreationally and serving as a power forward for the RCSI Ladies Basketball Team, where I've developed teamwork, leadership, and resilience. In addition, I'm a committed member of the RCSI Surgical Society, where I engage in workshops and events to continually refine my surgical techniques and clinical skills.
