There was a moment in medical school where I almost shut it all down.

The trading, the entrepreneurship, everything.
Not because I was failing, but because I was exhausted.
Balancing the demands of medical school with building something from scratch is not romanticized hard work. It is 2am decisions, missed social events, and constantly feeling like you’re not doing enough in either world.
But I stayed.
Today, GLEAMS MAGAZINE named me a shape of ambition and the version of me that almost quit needed to see this.
This is for every medical student out there. Every student juggling school, ambition, and the quiet fear that you have to pick one.
You don’t.
I am a medical student, a trader, and an entrepreneur and none of those things cancel each other out. They sharpen each other.
You can be a doctor who innovates.
A doctor who creates opportunities.
A doctor who creates solutions
A doctor who understands not just illness, but impact.
Entrepreneurship doesn’t take away from medicine, it sure does makes it better.
What kept me going was the belief that my story could one day give someone else permission to keep going too.
If that someone is you, don’t quit because ambition doesn’t have to fit in one box.
Thank you GLEAMS MAGAZINE and cheers to even bigger features.
