Campus involvement: On campus, I am on the girl’s basketball scout team, a part of the ALS Association, and am a scribe and nutrition services aid at HealthEast locations! I have studied tropical wildlife conservation in Malaysia, and have also done a medical trip to Uganda/Rwanda, plastic surgery rotation in Spain/Portugal, and ocean acidification in the islands of Belize.

I recently spent 3 weeks in Cuba for this past 2018-2019 winter break!
Hobbies: In the summer, I umpire little kids and stay busy with working at HealthEast. This summer will be consumed by the application process for MD/DO programs!
Specialty of interest: Family medicine in a suburban/ rural area.
Most treasured AMSA memory: Going to Nationals last year in D.C. with the board and general members! Learned some great information and had time to have some fun/ sight see.

Year: Senior
Majors: Neuroscience and Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development Minor: Psychology
Campus involvement: I work as an Emergency Department medical scribe at St. Francis Medical Center, which I have done for the past three years!

Specialty of interest: II hope to practice Emergency or Internal Medicine in a major metro area and also work to promote health education in inner city environments, particularly with emphasis on preventative medicine.
Most treasured AMSA memories: My favorite AMSA memories have been attending conferences, including fall conference last year and pre-med fest this year, as they provide a chance to get to know members outside of your friends and continue to learn about the field we will be going into. I am looking forward to (hopefully) going to Nationals for the first time this March!
