Hello there, my name is Samara but I usually just go by Sam. Lately, I have been delving into the realm of art with a focus on infusing elements of surrealism into my pieces and figuring out how to paint the human form with more complexity and intricacy. My time at AACC has been marked by a rigorous commitment to my chosen fields, where each class and project serves as a stepping stone towards my multidisciplinary aspirations.

I aim to secure my bachelor's degree in Neuroscience with a minor in Physics and then embark on the path to medical school. I’m not entirely sure which career I want specifically but my interests span across psychiatry, neuroscience, psychology, physics, engineering, and surgical technology. I have always had an unwavering curiosity for the complexities of the human mind and body, and I have always loved the beauty of mathematics.

Yet, amidst the rigors and intensity of academia and the pursuit of knowledge, my passion for art remains unyielding, offering solace and inspiration in difficult times. My future envisions a delicate balance between scientific inquiry and artistic creation, where the canvas becomes a haven for introspection and exploration. As I navigate the road ahead, I hope to share my creations with the world, both as a healer and an artist.
