When Caitlyn Sams arrived in Jamaica last year to pursue research under the United States Fulbright programme, she expected to gain new academic perspectives while conducting research, but little did she know that she would rekindle a childhood passion while developing a deep appreciation for Jamaican culture.
The 23-year-old American, who hails from Massachusetts in the United States, commenced her Fulbright scholarship at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, in September 2025.
Sams told Observer Online that her interest in oncology was inspired by seeing several family members and close friends battle cancer.
