Christina (she/her)

I am studying the Doctor of Medicine at the Western Sydney University Campbelltown Campus. In 2023, I will be in my third year of the five-year course. 

I have lived in Sydney for most of my life and have wanted to become a healthcare worker since I was in high school. I was drawn to medicine by the range of careers it provided an avenue towards, and the way that each of these careers has the ability to improve someone’s quality of life. I am keen to work in the global health and rural health space in my future career, and I am involved in organisations that allow me to further my knowledge and advocate for underserved regions. 

I would like to say a massive thank you to Peter Brennan AM and Michael Lynch, as well as to The Pinnacle Foundation, for providing me with the opportunity to be a Pinnacle scholar. This will be a tremendous help for achieving my academic and personal goals and developing my skills as a future physician.
