I am a medical student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC), navigating the intersection of clinical science and the deeply human experience of healing. My work as a physician-in-training is defined by the belief that mortality is a double-edged paradox—one that gives us the chance to grow, love, and seek meaning, even as it perpetuates loss.
Through my poetry and reflections, I explore:
- Heritage and Identity: Honoring the resilience and brave sacrifices of my parents and the Pakistani roots that shaped me.
- The Human Experience: Capturing the delicate balance between joy and grief, and the beauty of being mortal.
- Clinical Reflection: Finding space for dignity, comfort, and meaning within the practice of medicine.
I strive to honor the legacy of those who taught me to use my wings, seeking to balance the scale of the immense gifts I have been given by offering care and connection to others.
