I am a second-year medical student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, aspiring to pursue a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Before medical school, I was a member of the U.S. Rhythmic Gymnastics Group that represented Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. I graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in Economics. My passion for helping individuals restore their quality of life stems from my athletic journey and experiences overcoming physical challenges in elite sport. Here are a few news articles highlighting my path through rhythmic gymnastics, undergraduate studies, and medical training: •https://www.mcw.edu/mcwknowledge/mcw-stories/from-olympic-gymnastics-to-medicine-liza-merenzons-inspiring-journey •https://spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/news/2024/08/22/olympian-turned-milwaukee-medical-college-of-wisconsin-student- •https://chicagomaroon.com/28729/sports/rhythm-groove-profile-olympian-liza-merenzon/
