Alaina's personal statement:
I’m an actress, board-certified emergency medicine physician, scientist, pilot, and climber. I also host a podcast called “The Emergency Docs” which focuses on educating the general public and medical professionals on issues in medicine. I began acting after I realized that I was inspired to become an ER doctor after seeing ER, worked at NASA after seeing Apollo 13, and worked in paleontology after seeing Jurassic Park. I made movies my real-life career, and now, I want to inspire other young girls to pursue the sciences through the movies!
