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.

Most treasured AMSA memory: My favorite AMSA members go back to my first year when I participated in the ELE program. I have a passion for teaching and every week the curiosity and engagement of the students inspired and challenged me! I loved passing on my love for science and growing roots in my new Minneapolis community.

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!

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!
