Accomplishments
- During my time in Florida Atlantic University I was President and Vice President of two different Medical related clubs.
- We plan and organized events for officials, members, and students in general. Most of the time we ask everyone who attended to see if they could donate money, food, or whatever they could and then we would give it to charity for different health issues.
- We would do conference sometime where we spoke regarding a specific health related on going issue, and we would bring doctors or others medical professionals to talk to the students as well.
