Reintroducing myself…🤍

I am Mackenzie, a second-year medical student with a love for pathology and an eye for the details most people overlook.

Focused. Intentional. Building something that is entirely my own.

This chapter feels different; more aligned, more refined, and just the beginning.

Future forensic pathologist…and I am only getting started. ✨

Forensic Friday 🔬

One of the biggest misconceptions about forensic pathology is that it is just like what you see on TV.

In reality, it is a medical specialty focused on understanding the cause and manner of death, and helping provide answers and closure to the families.

It is one of the many reasons I am drawn to this field.

The way you speak to yourself during exam season matters more than you think.

This is something I’ve been reminding myself lately when things feel overwhelming.

Progress doesn’t require perfection. 💗

One thing I’ve had to learn during exam season is that rest is not something you “earn”.

Taking intentional breaks actually helps me stay focused and manage anxiety better.

It’s not time away from studying, it’s part of it.

One of the things I had to figure out quickly was transportation.

The campus shuttles help so much…but sometimes you need some help from taxis or Haylups!!

One thing I learned quickly after moving here: grocery shopping requires planning.

I try to keep my weekly groceries around $100, which means cooking most meals and shopping intentionally.
