Summary

As a proactive, motivated, and compassionate high school senior, I've accumulated four years of diverse experiences that have honed my communication strengths and developed keen observational skills. My roles as a Mentor Volunteer at MISD Connect Mentors, a Hospital Volunteer, a Tutor, a Babysitter, a Hospital Intern, and a Marine Biology Intern collectively showcase my ability to navigate day-to-day activities with poise while actively seeking opportunities to make a positive impact.

These experiences have fueled my aspiration to pursue a career in medicine, specializing in neurosurgery or cardiac surgery, with a potential focus on anesthesiology. Alongside my medical pursuits, I am driven to double major in Cellular and Molecular Biology or Biochemistry, complemented by a solid foundation in Business Administration. This journey is a testament to my genuine passion for helping others and my unwavering dedication to personal and academic growth.
