Athletes, medicine, equity.

Who I am

I'm Eric — a varsity small forward exploring what care means beyond the court. From rural clinics to cardiac wards and 5G-enabled monitoring, I'm drawn to the gaps medicine alone can't close.

I knew their game. I wanted to know their stories.

Small Forward · Captain

I've captained Fuzhou Municipal Schools Varsity since ninth grade. Knowing a player's game made me curious about their life beyond it. I created the Second Half Initiative to explore athletes' stories beyond the court.

Two months away. A world of new friends.

My first summer studying away from home brought new friends, hillside hikes, and nights I wished would last a little longer.

Until next time.
