Hello! My name is Raagini, and I’m an enthusiastic high school sophomore with a deep passion for science, healthy living, and community service. I’m actively involved in HOSA, where I explore my interest in healthcare. Recently, I started volunteering at a maternal- fetal medicine lab, a valuable experience that aligns with my goal of pursuing a career in medicine. I also serve as the regional director of Curing with CARE, a student-led non-profit focused on cancer awareness, research funding, and support for those affected by the disease. This role has deepened my commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. Outside of academics, I’m an avid dancer, finding joy and creative release in movement, which helps me stay active and balanced. Reading is another passion of mine, particularly fantasy and Sci-Fi, where I can immerse myself in new worlds and ideas.Through the Seattle Nutrition Initiative, I aim to deepen my understanding of the relationship between healthy eating and overall well-being. I’m excited to experiment with new recipes and explore the science behind food, furthering my commitment to a balanced and informed lifestyle.
