Primary Care Internist and Preventionist

“Swarthmore will always remain one of the great experiences of my life. I would say it was pretty important in beginning my development as an independent-thinking young woman – my whole self, my strengths, my weaknesses, how I wanted to approach the world, and overall the type of individual that I wanted to be. It nurtured my critical thought and further supported the development of my critical identity (this is such typical Swattie speech). There were two specific things that I appreciated most about Swarthmore. First, it created a culture that supported individual expression. Second, the emphasis on civic engagement and service allowed me to see the power of numbers and organization when individuals work together for the betterment of humanity. I am very thankful for it.”
