Short Bio:

"Hello, everyone! My name is Connor Bridges, and I am originally from London, England. I came to the U.S. in 2015 for my undergraduate studies at Princeton University, where I studied Operations Research and Financial Engineering with a minor in computer science. I then spent two years working in D.C. for an educational nonprofit that helps underserved students access and persist in college.

I am a current fourth year at Geisel and I am applying into general surgery. While here, I have served on the student government and the medical school admissions committee, led groups for first-generation and international students, and researched inequities in healthcare with a focus access to lung cancer screening.

Outside of school, I love playing and watching soccer and taking advantage of the natural beauty the Upper Valley has to offer!"
