Hey there, and welcome to my blog! I’m Amanda. I’m a Brazilian-born, first-generation medical student living in Alabama. I’m juggling medical school, a master’s in public health, and life with my three adorable dogs and my amazing husband. This blog is my little corner of the internet to share my thoughts, from medicine and study tips to life lessons and random musings. I keep it real—because let’s be honest, this path isn’t always easy, but it is most definitely worth it. When I’m not buried in textbooks, you’ll find me writing, unwinding with a good movie, or hanging out with my amazing husband and our three dogs.
My goal? To make medicine a little less intimidating and a lot more relatable.
Whether you’re here for tips, a peek into med school life, or just a good laugh about my latest struggle, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s figure this out together!
