Alisha Nalugo

Throughout my academic journey, I’ve remained deeply committed to helping others and making a meaningful impact in my community. One of my proudest accomplishments was leading a HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) project focused on addressing substance abuse. I dedicated extensive time and effort to researching real solutions for individuals struggling with addiction, driven by a genuine desire to support those in need.

My passion for service extends beyond the classroom. I actively seek out opportunities to volunteer wherever I can make a difference—whether that’s delivering meals with Edmond Mobile Meals, assisting at the University of Oklahoma as a volunteer, or joining Key Club to take part in various service initiatives. I’ve also had the privilege of supporting Special Olympics events, where I’ve been inspired by the strength and joy of the participants.

To further my knowledge and preparation for a career in healthcare, I currently attend Francis Tuttle Technology Center. There, I am constantly learning and exploring different areas of the medical field to build a strong foundation before college. My motivation is also deeply personal—my mom is a nurse, and I’ve always looked up to her. I learn as much as I can from her experiences and try to absorb the compassion, skill, and dedication she brings to her work.

These experiences have helped shape not just my career goals, but also who I am. I’m passionate about service, eager to learn, and always looking for new ways to grow—especially when it comes to helping others.
