Hey,
My name is Takyeldin El Tahlawy. I moved to America from Egypt when I was 6 years old. I graduated from NCSU with a bachelors in nutritional science, and currently building my resume to apply to medical school. The process of preparing yourself for medical school, and applying is not an easy one. During my journey I have found that the support of my peers, coworkers, and family is what has carried me this far. Through this program I hope to not only become mentor, but also a friend. I spent the majority of undergrad working various jobs to provide for myself, all while navigating school and transitioning from a community college to a 4 year. I discovered my passion for medicine later in undergrad when i decided to work as an ED tech at Duke. The exposed to the clinical aspect of medicine really helped understand the impact that doctors have. I hope to be a resource of clinical experience for future students, and to support you in your endevors.
