Research/Lab work:
- - I've been working in a lab for a total of 3 years now, two years spent doing research. Haven't gotten published yet. Long story short, we were in the process of starting a new project and writing a grant, but she decided to step back into the hospital scene temporarily...but I got to present the work twice at our schools annual student research symposium. Currently working under a postdoc with a paper sent and waiting to get accepted.
- - Volunteered at another lab and learned how to slice up brains! I spent about a summer with them, but although I'm no longer working in their lab, I'm organizing a collaboration with them and one of my student orgs to bring local elementary and middle school students to tour the lab.
- - Worked in another lab as an admin assistant for about 1 year. Small lab, so I was basically in charge of everything from ordering supplies to scheduling repairs and check ups on machines, and EHS.
Student orgs:
- - I started our school's first autism awareness org two years ago and so far started and currently run a peer mentoring program that pairs up autistic high school and college students with university students. Also started a bi quarterly public lecture series that aims to branch the scientific side of the asd community with families, teachers, and students. We initiated and organized the first every Autism Awareness Week and raised about 1000 dollars that will be donated to the National Foundation for Autism Research.
- - I'm vp of a neuroscience outreach group that brings university students to local schools that have scored poorly in the sciences on state testing. We go out and do interactive presentations on the coolness of the brain and nervous system. It's mad fun.
- - I was a counselor for camp kesem at our school last year and currently working with a team of about 50 other members/counselors to raise over 75,000 to sent about 100 kids to camp this year.
Clinical experience:
-
- Volunteered over 150 hours in the ED and Pulm special procedures unit. Not the best clinical work, but I did get to talk to a lot of patients in the ED who were waiting around and go to see a lot of bronchoscopies.
- - Current CCE. Crazy stuff and I love it. I suppose this is the epitome of clinical work. Worked in the Medical/Surgical/Oncology Dept, Speech Therapy, and currently in the Interventional Radiology Dept.
- - Shadowed a pediatric pulmonologist, pediatric neurosurgeon, and a radiologist. Getting a rec from the peds pulm doc, who I also did research with in the lab.
Others?
- -Studied abroad in Cambridge this summer and country-hopped Europe. best summer of my life. Currently working as an ambassador for the program but organizing info sessions at our school.
- -mom was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. It was a rough time with the surgery, chemo, and radiation, but she's doing better and currently in remission
