Summary
I became a part of the NHS and was elected the chapter's Secretary through persistent high academic rigor. Gained experience organizing student activities as the Vice President of HMTCA's Mock Trial club and as the Treasurer of the school's Model UN club. I passed an EMT training service, where I made patient contact with several individuals at Saint Francis Hospital. In college, I was recruited into UCONN Hartford's Student Affairs Committee. Through these endeavors, I hoped to expand my horizons as a student and seek to interact with peers who may have similar interests.
