Born in England, brought up between Europe, India, and the United States, I am a Bostonian, Philadelphian, and newly minted New Yorker struggling with place and person. Currently, I am a second year medical student trying to find a way to embed social justice into the healthcare universe I now inhabit.
I learned to see the world through words. Words I picked over all day at school then curled up with under my covers long after I was supposed to be asleep. I reflect through writing, turn to all 1124 pages of my worn Lord of the Rings every time I go through a hard time, and dream best with my head pillowed on a book. Yet I never realized how fully these words and stories shape my experience of the world until I entered medical school, a space where the world is not often viewed through the lens of stories.
