Nothing says Class of 2007 more than my eyebrows, eyeliner, lip gloss, and my mousse-filled curls 🙌🏽. High school Pao’s mantra of “Nunca te des por vencida” still lives.

Be careful with fangirling grit. Grit without choice = oppression or trauma. Choosing to persevere in the face of challenge or discomfort is not the same as being required to endure something to survive. There can be a real cost alongside benefit.

So excited to join y’all soon! Happy belated!!! 🥳❤️

Yessss that’s my friend!! 🥲✨

Ain’t that that truth, Pooh. ✨

One of the many things med school taught me was the importance of continuing to advocate to transform medical education and the support to URiM students. This project is close and dear to our hearts and won’t end here. Thank you Semera Shemsu for sharing our work at AMEC. Love!!

As rising M4’s start thinking about ERAS, I recommend y’all to include the writing center in your institution for personal statement support. Might not have full content insight (mentors say heyyy here!), but the grammar and flow help were 😮‍💨✨

Over 6 million people died from COVID. Do we now have a new virus to worry about? Monkeypox is here. I've spent that last 24 hours scouring websites, journal articles, and expert analysis on it, so you don't have to: 🧵👇

Wow, what a great resource you and colleagues were able to put together for all future Dermatologists!! You’re such a baddie Dr. Wyatt Boothby-Shoemaker 🔥

Michigan, you were so good to me. Bittersweet feels as I take my one way flight back to Cali ❤️

Who else agrees Match Day should be in February?! It doesn’t feel like enough time to get your life together before intern year 🫠

First week of orientation gone. I had so many moments where I had to remind myself this is my reality. Keep on pushing, y’all. Promise medicine/life is full of years of so much sacrifice and not knowing when things will come full circle BUT THEY DO.
