Dedicated undergraduate that possesses discipline, leadership skills, and a passion for outreach and volunteering. I have had the opportunity to be part of the University's research in the U of MN Biomedical Engineering Department and the Visible Heart Lab. As the vice president of the Biomedical Engineering Society, I have been able to connect students with with what it means to be a biomedical engineer, and what it means to be an engineer as the president of Building Engineering Technical Skills. Outside of school, I have volunteered at two hospitals and a youth program in North Minneapolis for underrepresented students.
