Jordan White

During his undergraduate studies, he found great satisfaction in helping fellow students understand complex concepts and later through placements in the NHS, where he furthered his knowledge and aided patients. After completing his degree, he realissed his love for learning and sought a structured learning plan to expand his knowledge. Upon learning about LSTM's commitment to helping disadvantaged communities and their dedication to producing high-quality scientific studies, he knew LSTM was the ideal university to continue his education and become a lifelong alumnus.

Jordan aspires to pursue a graduate-entry medicine degree after completing his current studies. He aims to integrate his efforts in helping patients and learning life-saving procedures into his medical career. He is enthusiastic about the challenges of this degree and sees it as a seamless alignment with his values of helping others. With the connections he will develop at LSTM, he also envisions traveling internationally to provide assistance to individuals in need.

Receiving the 125 Directors Excellence Award holds immense personal and academic significance for Jordan.

The values of LSTM, providing education to those who may not have the means to obtain it themselves, resonate deeply with him.

Jordan is eager to complete his MRes degree at LSTM and has a provisional title for his research. He looks forward to publishing his research not only for the scientific community but with the hope that it will have a global impact on those who need it the most. His dedication to education and research aligns with LSTM's mission to help disadvantaged communities and contribute to global health.
