My name is Sarah and I am a second year medical student at AUC. I have lived most of my life in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois but recently moved to SXM with my husband in August 2020. I received my undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry in May 2018, and have work experience in the clinical research field as well as patient care. I was employed as a Certified Nursing Assistant for 4 years at two different hospitals and a senior living center; I also worked for a pharmaceutical/nutritional international research corporation. I have always enjoyed writing, and am hoping to bring my current and past experiences together to write memorable articles describing the obstacles medical students face while receiving an education during a pandemic.
