What do you do outside of HOSA?
Outside of HOSA, I am a member of the National Speech and Debate Association, the International Thespian Society, National Honor Society, and Varsity Swim. I love to stay active and find ways to let loose!
What event(s) do you compete in?
My freshman year of high school I competed alongside my team in biomedical debate. We finished tenth in the nation while debating on whether or not the health issues associated with] cigarettes or e-cigarettes were more threatening to the general population. My sophomore year, my partner and I competed in public health and placed third internationally!
What is your favorite thing about HOSA?
My favorite thing about HOSA is its ability to cross bridges and build friendships. HOSA is a fantastic organization full of people with interests similar to your own and who are exploring the health field. Never before have I felt so accepted in an organization and made so many friends that I know I will keep for life.
What are your current career goals?
Anything and everything. Right now, I am exploring all of the different aspects of health to find what fits for me. I love the idea of dedicating my life to helping others and I am just looking for the job description that enables me to make the biggest impact possible. I would love to find a way to combine both science and theatre to combine both of my passions into one!
