A future in foot
and ankle care.

A DPM student’s journey toward foot and ankle surgery, grounded in science, service, and a deep curiosity about how people move.

Learning the science.
Keeping people at the center.

I’m pursuing my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree at Samuel Merritt University College of Podiatric Medicine (SMUCPM) as part of the Class of 2030, with the aspiration of becoming a foot and ankle surgeon. My background in biological sciences and experience around clinical care inform the questions I bring to both medicine and engineering.

I’m particularly interested in how thoughtful technology can support education, prevention, and the patient experience.

FOUNDATIONS FOR THE ROAD AHEAD

From understanding
to application.

Each experience brings a different perspective on the responsibility of caring for people.

Biological sciences

California State University, Northridge

B.S. in Biological Sciences. A foundation in human biology, population health, and prevention.

Surgical shadowing

Eskander Foot and Ankle

Exposure to foot and ankle care across clinic and procedure settings, learning from the decisions behind patient care.

WHERE MEDICINE MEETS TECHNOLOGY

Better questions.
More thoughtful solutions.

Studying medicine gives my engineering work a human context. Building software gives me another way to explore problems in healthcare.

CLASS OF 2030

A shared journey.

Learning, growing, and looking ahead with the people who make the experience their own.
