Summary
I am a sophomore at George Washington University majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry. Aside from my passion for pre-health I am very fascinated with Neurochemistry. I currently work closely in a microbiology lab but I am always open to any other internships or volunteer opportunities where I can gain different perspectives in health care and the medical field. A passion of mine is working closely with children and learning about their experiences. This is why I have dedicated my free time to volunteering at Medstar Hospital at Georgetown University Hospital and occasionally tutor students from middle school to early high school. My ultimate goal will is provide healthcare to underprivileged and underrepresented people who may not have the best access to health care as others.
