Currently, I'm focused on surviving my third year of medicine. Outside of that, I'm really interested in nature and like going on long walks when I can! I've also explored the local area and visited lots of interesting places.

Sreshta
University of Chester
Graduate Entry Medicine
Hi there! I’m currently studying Graduate Entry Medicine with a long-term goal of specialising in Paediatrics or Obstetrics and Gynaecology (so far that is my plan). My journey into medicine began with an undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences, which helped fuel my passion for healthcare and solidified my decision to pursue a career in medicine.
I spent the first 14 years of my life in the UK before moving to Dubai, where I completed the last four years of my high school education. Being an partial international student myself, I understand how challenging it can be to adapt to new environments and navigate life away from home, but I also appreciate the unique experiences that come with it.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I have a strong passion for music—I play four instruments and enjoy badminton in my free time and play for the university team. I’m always keen to meet new people, share experiences, and support others who might be going through similar journeys.
