Shanay Russell-Nearn
Greenville,NC
Summary
I have a strong background in both community service and healthcare preparation. At Operation Sunshine, I mentor young girls after school, help with homework, lead workshops, and serve as a positive role model. I’ve also volunteered at food banks, where I sort, package, and distribute food to families in need, and at animal shelters, where I care for animals, assist with adoptions, and support daily operations. In addition, I am pursuing a career in healthcare through phlebotomy training and clinical experience, aligning these opportunities with my long-term goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. My service, leadership, and hands-on training reflect my dedication to helping others and making a positive impact.
