This is my journey. I was on the premed track, checking all the right boxes—until I realized it wasn’t the future I wanted. In this episode, I’m sharing the unfiltered story of why I walked away from med school and how I found my place in biotech instead. From the uncertainty of leaving a well-defined path to discovering a career I truly love, this is my journey of trial, error, and finally, clarity.
