I am...
I am a person who values leadership and service. I have always been dedicated to serving at my church, and in the community. I have volunteered as an assistant teacher in the preschool ministry, packaged/distributed food and clothing at the IMPACT center, helped build houses, and more.
I am dedicated to helping other students grow throughout their college experiences. I am a very outgoing person and love to socialize with other people, which has allowed me to grow as an honor student by giving me many opportunities in the community. I am a student mentor for the Honors College Peer Mentor Program and a First Year Seminar (FYS) class through OTEAM. Helping students grow has made a huge impact on my life, and has helped me grow along the way.
I am a person who values hard work, organization, leadership, teamwork, growth, and service. These values have been crucial to my success as an Honors Student, and to my personal growth.
I want to become...
In the future I want to be an Anesthesiologist Assistant. I hope to attend Indiana University School of Medicine to receive my Master of Science in Anesthesia. With the magnitude of this goal, I do everything I can to achieve this goal. As an honors student and Presidential Scholar, I have had many opportunities that have allowed me to further my experiences and opportunities. I continue to strive for excellence, and encourage other students to take any opportunity they are given and make the best of it.
I am a freshman studying Biology/Neuroscience on the pre-medicine track. I am working to excel in everything I do, while also growing through my failures. I want to continue growing in my knowledge relating to my major, and outside of my major, to continue growing in my education. I will do this by applying to any opportunities that may arise.
I currently volunteer at Riley Children's Hospital, where I was given the opportunity to help children in the Emergency Department. In the ED, I check on patients and offer toys, distraction items, blankets, etc., to help them feel more comfortable while they are in the hospital.
This experience has been so much more than exposure to the hospital setting. It has allowed me to make an impact on the lives of the children and families who enter the Emergency Department seeking help. Even knowing that I have helped one family during their time in the Emergency Department be slightly better, which is why I continue to volunteer every week.
Volunteering in the ED has allowed me to gain experience working with children, and their parents, which will help me if I become a physician in the future.
This past year, I started working as a Medical Receptionist for an Optometrist. I have gained a better understanding of what it means to work in a medical practice environment. I have interacted with numerous patients, which has allowed me to understand more perspectives when it comes to medical care. I continue to learn every time I step into the office. As a receptionist, I am often the first person the patient encounters, and the last. Even as a receptionist, the impact I make on the patients is extremely important. I will continue to grow in my professional abilities, which will be transferrable if I do become a physician in the future.
On campus, I have worked as a Campus Ambassador, or tour guide. I want to guide people, literally and figuratively, in their college journey. My experience as a tour guide, and working with incoming freshmen, encouraged me to become an Honors Peer Mentor and FYS mentor. Every week, I spend time mentoring freshmen through their first semester at IU Indianapolis. I have had one on one meetings with all of my students, which has allowed me to watch them grow in the short time I have known them. Watching them learn and grow this semester has allowed me to continue growing and achieving my goals. I want to become a leader that others look up to and hope to be like in the future. Being a good mentor makes a huge impact on the lives of the mentee, and this is what I strive to be.
I want to have a well-rounded education, and participating in LHSI will allow me to do that. Being an intern for the Longitudinal Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) has allowed me to understand more about the brain, research, participant interactions, and more. I want to continue to gain more connections, while growing in my communication skills throughout this internship.
