RCSI '27

Hiiii! I am a 4th year medical student at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Despite studying medicine, English and writing has always been a passion for me.
I love creative writing and it has been a source of great comfort throughout my life. It is a great honour to be allowed to continue this by writing for Her Campus.
I hope that I am able to be a voice that others can enjoy hearing and be able to relate to.
