In the face of challenges I lean on my family for support and try to view challenges as an opportunity to prove to myself that I am capable.
Why did you choose Georgetown BGE for your graduate studies?
Completing my master’s in Physiology through Georgetown’s Special Master’s Program has given me the opportunity to prove myself within a rigorous academic environment. It has also connected me with incredible faculty mentorship and peer support in the pursuit of my greater goals.
What do you want to do after earning your degree?

My family is my ultimate support system and I can’t wait to make them proud by becoming the first Dr. Baughman, by doing everything I can to improve the health of my patients, and by working to understand and address discrepancies in medical access and care.
