After I woke up around 6pm-7pm, I would go get some dinner, come back to my room, listen to music, and then play on my bass for a good 2 hours or so to relieve my stress, and eventually falling back asleep around 12.

Haven taught me how to become an effective listener, a fast learner, and an effective deliberator within a healthcare setting and serves as the foundation of those skills in my upcoming medical…
