<p class="has-dropcap">The first patient I remember by name was a six-year-old in the pediatric ER on a Saturday night, here for the second time that week with the same fever that kept resolving and recurring. I was a scribe. The attending walked me through the history while she examined him. I learned more clinical reasoning in that one shift than I had in the previous semester of organic chemistry — and I knew then that medicine was going to be the work.</p>
40+
41+
<p>I'm a Lead Medical Assistant at Innovative &amp; Platinum Dermatology in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. I run the team supporting chronic-disease patients on biologic therapy — psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, urticaria — through the long arcs of dose adjustments, prior authorizations, infection surveillance, and the inevitable insurance fights that come with $80,000-a-year medications.</p>
42+
43+
<p>Before this, I spent two years as a pediatric scribe in Children's Medical Center, Plano, and another two years in Children's Medical Center, Dallas's emergency department, working twelve-hour shifts that taught me throughput, triage, and the very particular skill of holding a still face while a parent is breaking down in front of you.</p>
44+
45+
<p>Between those two halves of my training, I finished a B.S. in Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas in 2019. On campus I was President of Islamic Relief UTD and VP of Membership for Gamma Sigma Sigma. I was the kind of student who treated extracurriculars as a second curriculum.</p>

48+
49+
<p>The arc to medicine is intentional. Pediatric ER taught me how decisions get made in seconds. Dermatology taught me how the same disease looks across the years it takes to manage it. And the gap years — these five years — taught me that healthcare runs on small frictions: the print binder that takes too long to flip through, the prior-auth form that gets denied for the wrong reason, the dosing calculation that gets done in your head when it should be in a tool.</p>
50+
51+
<p>I built mahaclinic because the print binder for biologic dosing was the slowest thing in our exam rooms. The tool started as a personal cheat sheet and grew, over a few weekends, into something the rest of the practice uses. It's used at three locations now. It does one job — search a drug, find the dose, find the contraindications — and it is religiously focused on doing only that job. It does not store PHI. It does not diagnose. It does not recommend anything beyond what the FDA label already says. That restraint is the point.</p>
52+
53+
<p>I'm now preparing for the MCAT and applying to medical school in the 2027–28 cycle. I'm Texas-focused but open to programs whose missions align with chronic-care, primary-care, and community health. I want to be the physician who keeps building the small tools the workflow actually needs.</p>
54+
55+
<p>If you're an interviewer or a recommender and you've landed here from one of my essays, the <a href="/maha/competencies/">competencies mapping</a> and the <a href="/maha/mahaclinic/">mahaclinic case study</a> may be useful starting points. The site is a working surface, not a finished one — it grows as I do.</p>

<p>The AAMC's <a href="https://students-residents.aamc.org/real-stories-demonstrating-premed-competencies/premed-competencies-entering-medical-students">Premed Competencies for Entering Medical Students</a> were refreshed in late 2023 and renamed again in 2026 (Cultural Humility → Self-Awareness; Cultural Awareness → Understanding Others). What follows is a literal mapping of my five years of pediatric scribe + ER scribe + Lead MA + neuroscience + building experience to each competency in the framework. The bullets are concrete because the work is concrete.</p>

<li class="ct-row">

46+
<span class="ct-bullet">Five years of direct patient care: two years pediatric scribe (Children's Plano), two years pediatric ER scribe (Children's Dallas, 12-hour shifts), three years Lead MA in chronic-disease dermatology.</span>
47+
</li>
48+
49+
<li class="ct-row">
50+
<span class="ct-name">Understanding Others</span>
51+
<span class="ct-bullet">Multilingual, multicultural patient populations in the DFW metro. Biologic-access disparities by insurance status surfaced as a recurring pattern in derm prior-auth work.</span>
52+
</li>
53+
54+
<li class="ct-row">
55+
<span class="ct-name">Self-Awareness</span>
56+
<span class="ct-bullet">Built mahaclinic in response to a specific frustration — a print binder slowing patient visits — rather than to "build something." The restraint about what the tool does NOT do is itself the practice.</span>
57+
</li>
58+
59+
<li class="ct-row">
60+
<span class="ct-name">Teamwork &amp; Collaboration</span>
61+
<span class="ct-bullet">Lead MA = literal team leadership; pediatric ER scribe = MD/RN team dynamics under acuity pressure. Mahaclinic deployment required coordinating with three practice sites' MAs to roll out without disrupting workflow.</span>

</li>
63+
64+
<li class="ct-row">
65+
<span class="ct-name">Oral Communication</span>

<li class="ct-row">
75+
<span class="ct-name">Reliability &amp; Dependability</span>

<li class="ct-row">
80+
<span class="ct-name">Resilience &amp; Adaptability</span>

90+
<span class="ct-name">Empathy &amp; Compassion</span>
91+
<span class="ct-bullet">Pediatric ER + chronic skin-disease patients living with visible disfigurement, body image, and overlapping depression/anxiety. Empathy in derm is mostly quiet — sitting with a patient on their fourth biologic — and that is its own skill.</span>
