Ego of the Week: Katelyn Candido
Katelyn Candido (C’24) didn’t leave her role of supportive older sister at home. At Penn, she strives to be a helping hand to fellow first–generation and underrepresented students dreaming of careers in medicine. As the proud daughter of a Mexican immigrant, Katelyn channels her upbringing into her classes, friendships, and professional goals. Embodying her grandmother’s selflessness and her mother’s work ethic, Katelyn hopes to overcome the stereotype of "cutthroat" surgeon by bringing humanity and humility into the ER.
