About Me
Hi! My name is Zowie Darwin and I am currently a senior at Frisco High School. I am an academically focused student who tries to continuously challenge myself by taking AP level classes. I am also an active member of my community and spend a lot of my free time volunteering and tutoring fellow students. I have a passion for learning about medicine, which has inspired me to study Anesthesiology this year in the ISM program.

Mission Statement
Throughout this year in ISM, I aspire to learn as much as possible about Anesthesiology and the medical field. I will challenge myself to take advantage of this learning opportunity by taking initiative in my study and research. I hope to use the knowledge and experience gained to propel me into future research and to help me grow as an individual and hopeful medical student.
