- Name: Edson DeOliveira
- Hometown: Omaha
- Program/Year: College of Medicine, M2
Education: I graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 2016. I majored in biology with a minor in modern language literacy – Portuguese.
Hobbies: I enjoy staying active by cycling and weightlifting. When the weather permits, a good hike or other outdoor activities like a bonfire with friends are fun.
What do you do to stay balanced:
I make sure to exercise and take time for personal reflection on various aspects of my life. Taking time to visit my family also helps me keep the journey of professional school in perspective.
Three things people may not know about me:
- I have four sisters (two older and two younger) and am the only boy.
- I immigrated to the United States at the age of 6.
- I was raised in the rural town of Ewing, Nebraska.
