Aspiring healthcare professional on a pre-med path

Ivanna Pits

About

I'm a high school student in Brooklyn drawn to medicine by a simple belief: care matters most in the small, human moments. Whether I'm checking in a nervous patient at a front desk or sitting beside a child during therapy, I try to make every person feel seen and welcome.

Over the past few years I've built hands-on experience across clinical, pediatric, and office settings, while staying deeply involved in community service and school leadership. These experiences have shaped how I work — with patience, attention to detail, and a steady commitment to helping others.
