Arvin (he/him)

Arvin joined The Pinnacle Foundation as a scholar in 2024 and in 2025, Arvin has been awarded The TLC Healthcare Scholarship.

Having grown up in Melbourne, I am now studying a Bachelor of Medical Studies and Doctor of Medicine at the University of New South Wales (Albury) and am expecting to graduate in 2026. I am passionate about mental health, access to healthcare, and making health and medical education more inclusive to the LGBTQIA+ community. Outside of medicine, I love reading, writing, and learning languages.

I am extremely grateful to be part of The Pinnacle Foundation, as the Pinnacle family, mentorship, and scholarship are all incredible supports that will support me to reach my full potential as a doctor – even if I do not know what path to choose yet! I would also love to thank the sponsor of my scholarship, TLC Healthcare, as their active involvement with The Pinnacle Foundation has made my scholarship possible.
