Pursuing a Career in Dermatology
My achievements in academics and leadership initiatives.
Personal Statement
From a young age, I have pursued a wide range of interests. I was my grade's top reader in the 5th grade, the same year I started piano lessons. I soon picked up baking sourdough and singing. Healthcare is where these passions converge. A career in the medical field allows me to explore my curiosity of the human psyche that I found in reading, as well as feeding my love for a finished product that I found in baking or learning a piece of music. I am grateful for the opportunity to turn these passions into a force of good in the world.
Volunteering
I began volunteering in the 5th grade via my local Project Outreach chapter. Since then, I have participated in dozens of service endeavors, each one growing my confidence, diligence, and ability to connect with others. Over the years I have volunteered with many organizations, like my local 4-H chapter and my school's student council.
Education
From the very beginning of my academic journey, I have always strived for excellence. In elementary and middle school, I collected awards such as "Million Word Reader" and Honor Roll, which soon evolved into state and national recognition when I reached high school. I have consistently challenged myself with rigorous courses, including Dual Enrollment Biology 101 and 201, Dual Enrollment English Composition I, Dual Enrollment US History I and II, and Dual Enrollment Psychology 202. I have also maintained a GPA of 4.57 and a class rank of 1/280.
