Since the beginning of freshman year as a pre-medical student and LEAD Scholar, I have been working hard not only towards my degree, but towards gaining enough experience to build a solid understanding of a profession in the medical field. In my freshman year, I continued to volunteer at Advent Health in the neonatal intensive care unit, where I had volunteered since senior year of high school.  I was engaged in various executive positions in student run organizations and was involved in research. Additionally, I took relevant courses such as anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, nutrition, and much more. In each activity, I devoted 100% of myself and left a positive impact on those I met.
