Audrey Petak

Knoxville,TN

Summary

Undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, pursuing a degree in Biological Sciences on the Pre-Med track. Growing up as the eldest sibling in a large military family, I developed adaptability, leadership, and strong communication skills through frequent relocations and international experiences. In high school, I served through a Leadership through Volunteerism program, where I organized community projects, mentored peers, and led my school’s K–12 worship team, combining my passions for service, leadership, and music. Dedicated to both science and community engagement, I am committed to building meaningful connections and making a positive impact in academic and professional settings.
