Bonjour! I’m Stace

I am a third year medical student. I am also a first-generation American with parents from Ghana, West Africa. I am a nontraditional premed who has has a difficult but rewarding journey to medicine. I made some mistakes, learned a lot, and had fun on the way. I started this blog to share my love of travel and books as well as things that I have learned/am learning on my journey to medicine.

Education

I took 4 gap years. I went to UConn for my undergraduate degree where I received a B.S in Molecular & Cell Biology. I took a break from education and volunteered via AmeriCorps before returning for a 1 year post-bacc. In Spring 2021, I completed my Master’s in Biomedical Sciences at Elms College. I started medical school in the Fall of 2022.

My Mission

I am passionate about many things but if I had to list 3 things it would be:
Empowering others to achieve their goals
Serving the underserved, especially the homeless populations
Youth health & education - they are our future!

Fun Facts

I change my hair a lot. It depends on my mood
I have 6 brothers and sisters
I love to read and hope to publish my own books and become a NYT Bestseller
I was a wedding coordinator for one of my friends’ 2 day Ghanaian wedding
I love K-Dramas

Recently, I was talking to a fellow nontraditional premed who fel

A year ago, I was restudying for my MCAT, in grad school, working 2 jobs, and preparing for the next cycle while receiving my XXth rejection letter. Today, I am mostly focusing on myself while enjoying the last few months of freedom I have left. I ha

I did absolutely nothing today. I had so many plans for my application cycle, my personal goals, meal prepping, and cleaning. Yet, I got nothing done.

I’ve been kicking myself about it but then I realized that I need to give myself grace. It&r

Applying for medical school can be expensive!

Are you taking the MCAT this year? You need to apply!

Are you applying to medical school this year? Then you need to apply.

I applied to medical school twice and was able to fund nearly all of my fees
