My academic and career journey wouldn’t be where it is today without the impactful mentors I’ve had along the way. I wanted to become a GSP so I could similarly help scholars in their pursuits to create their own meaningful careers and lives.

The process of applying to graduate school can be a difficult one, and I found a great deal of support from my community as a student, particularly as an underrepresented minority in science. My goal is to provide similar access to resources for students and work with them towards their goals.

I remember how the transition between the end of undergraduate studies and the beginning of graduate school brought different challenges than I had experienced earlier in my academic career and how impactful my mentors were. I look forward to giving back to students navigating this transition.

Mentorship is extremely important in helping students navigate grad school. I want to show students that becoming a doctor is possible for anyone passionate enough to persevere. I’ve been fortunate to have great mentors, so I’m excited to share what I’ve learned to help others achieve their dreams.

I want to support undergraduates determined to become empathetic providers. I am a first-generation, low-income student, and I know the difficulties this can present when applying to medical school. I hope to share my experiences to help them achieve their goals of becoming a physician.

Along my journey to medical school, many mentors have believed in my potential even when I didn't believe in myself. I'd like to uplift other students on the path to professional school while making the journey as enjoyable as possible and utilizing all the resources our campus has to provide.

As a student-athlete at the University of Michigan, I balance huge ambitions in track and field and my technical career. My successes in both these areas derive from the immense support of my coach and mentors. Inspired by the people who have guided me, I wish to do the same as a GSP.

Moving to America from Pakistan at age 14, my senior mentors paved my path to academic success. The GSP role is the perfect avenue to leverage my background in medicine, business, and teaching with my experiences in mentoring, DEI/pipeline programming, and my personal insights to pay it forward.
