I have been volunteering at Second Harvest since my middle school years and have been able to play a small role in closing the food insecurity gap throughout Central Florida. During my time at Second Harvest, I have helped organize donated food items for distribution to those who need it most throughout the community. I have also assisted in the assembling of meals to be delivered as well. I believe that no one should ever have to go to bed hungry, and I am honored to be able to be a part of Second Harvest’s solution for this prevalent problem in our society.

Grace Medical Home is a medical clinic that works to serve Orange County's underserved. Through serving in Grace's Patient Registration department, I assist in the creation and updating of patient records within the clinic's electronic medical record. I also print and prepare patient registration forms prior to any registration appointments, ensuring that those who wish to become patients at Grace can do so with ease. Similar to the motives behind my volunteerism at Second Harvest, I believe that no one should be denied access to medical care for any reason. I am grateful to be able to volunteer at Grace Medical Home to not only improve the lives of the clinic's current patient population, but to also learn about and help eradicate the health disparities that impact the patients of tomorrow.

UCF Pre-Med American Medical Student Association (AMSA) is a pre-health student organization that serves as a ‘one stop shop’ for all things pre-medical related. Unlike other pre-health organizations on campus, UCF Pre-Med AMSA is affiliated with AMSA National, the oldest and largest independent association of physicians-in-training within the United States. From hosting biweekly general body meetings and frequent professional development activities relating to the medical school application process, Pre-Med AMSA strives to provide the resources needed for aspiring physicians to pursue their dream career in medicine.

UCF Neuroscience Alliance is a student organization with a mission of promoting awareness of and research conducted within the field of neuroscience. The organization seeks to inform its members about potential careers within neuroscience and the ways in which we can go about making those careers a reality after our time at UCF. Being involved in Neuroscience Alliance alongside Pre-Med AMSA has provided me with the opportunity to learn more about my dream career of becoming a pediatric neurologist and how my current academic and professional experiences relate to this career goal overall.
