My place in the White Coat

I am proud medical doctor whose journey into healthcare began with a childhood dream and a deep desire to challenge societal expectations. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to wear the white coat, not just to treat illness but to break barriers as the first female doctor in my hometown. Along the way, I faced the intense demands of medical school and the weight of gender stereotypes, but I found strength in the stories of those who came before me. Their resilience reminded me that if others could do it, so could I.

Today, I stand not only as a physician but also as a passionate advocate for health promotion and gender equity. What keeps me going is the unmatched fulfillment of seeing a patient recover and knowing that I’ve made a difference. To aspiring health professionals: be clear about your purpose, believe in your potential, and never let doubt define your path. You are capable, you are needed, and your journey can save lives.
