Brooke-First Entry

Posted on

Hi everyone! My name is Brooke Sutherland. I am from Haverford, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. I want to go to medical school and potentially study either orthopedics or cardiology. I had open heart surgery two days after I was born and my many visits to the cardiologist have peaked my interest in the field. I am on the travel team for club tennis here at UVA. I was nationally ranked in juniors but I injured a tendon in my foot right before the college recruiting period. My experiences with this and other injuries throughout my tennis career have made me interested in orthopedics and sports medicine as well. I am excited for both the clinical and design parts of the class. I want to improve at thinking outside of the box and I hope to design something that solves a real world problem in healthcare.
