Hey there, and welcome to my blog! I’m Amanda. I’m a Brazilian-born, first-generation 3rd-year medical student. This blog is my little corner of the internet to share my thoughts, from medicine and study tips to life lessons and other musings. 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. I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s figure this out together!
