Volunteer/Work Experience:
-Red Cross Blood Drives/Now regular blood donor, helped with “When I’m in Charge” Safety Training Program
-Regularly volunteer at school functions designed to encourage young children to pursue science
-Volunteer at the National Institute of Health (NIH) during second semester of Junior Year, Work at NIH over summer for pay in Summer Internship Program (SIP) doing neural stem cell research, continue work through first semester of senior year for graduation requirement.
Due to my work at NIH, I will not have leadership positions in clubs senior year due to the fact that we have club meetings during a period planned into our schedules. In order to do the NIH internship, I need to miss these club meetings. Therefore, I’m only VP of Biology Society still, will continue participating in Debate/Biology Olympiad competitions. My counselor will mention this
