Hi! I’m Raya, a second-year medical student at RCSI. While most of my days are spent in lectures or tucked away in the library, writing for Her Campus gives me the chance to step outside the textbooks and share my perspective. It’s my little outlet away from studying, where I get to connect with others and explore the parts of med school that don’t always make it into the lecture notes.
Through my articles, I hope to bring fresh insight for women in all fields and contribute to a platform that empowers women everywhere to write, read, and connect. From practical tips and tricks for navigating med school to the realities of studying abroad, my goal is to inform, inspire, and bring readers a closer look into the world of medicine — whether they’re aspiring doctors or simply curious about student life.
