Bio
Hello, I'm Geoffrey, a dedicated second-year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin. My academic passion lies in mentorship and leadership, and I'm deeply committed to shaping the future generations of healthcare professionals. Alongside my academic pursuits, my passion for selfless service and education drives me to contribute to the world's growth in my own way. Being an Army veteran is a significant part of my identity, and I'm eagerly preparing to serve as an Army physician after completing medical school. Currently, I'm exploring my interests in Emergency Medicine and Anesthesiology, aiming to make a meaningful impact in these fields. On a personal note, I lead an active lifestyle that reflects my love for challenges. I'm an avid competitor in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions, ultramarathons, and powerlifting meets. Additionally, I have a strong affinity for speed, having raced cars and motorcycles. As a devoted fan, I've attended Formula 1 races, appreciating the thrill of the sport. This blend of academic dedication and adventurous spirit fuels my journey in both medicine and life.Project ideas

The project can be broken down into several components: Research Phase: Study the principles of lifestyle medicine, focusing on topics like nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and social connections. Research scientific studies and articles supporting the positive impact of lifestyle choices on health outcomes. Workshop Development: Develop engaging presentations, interactive activities, and informative handouts tailored to the interests and concerns of teenagers. Incorporate real-life examples, success stories, and practical tips to make the information relatable and actionable. Consider incorporating guest speakers, such as local nutritionists, fitness trainers, or mental health professionals, to enhance the workshop content. Workshop Delivery: Organize the workshop in collaboration with school clubs, health classes, or after-school programs. Conduct interactive sessions where participants can actively participate, ask questions, and share their experiences. Provide resources and references for further reading and exploration.
