From Northern CA, graduated from UCSB w/ BS in Biopsychology
cGPA 3.71 sGPA 3.62. I had a very strong upward grade trend with 3.5ish freshman year and 3.8ish the rest of the time through college.
MCAT: 513-128/127/127/131
Research: About 210 hrs as research assistant in behavioral endocrinology lab
Clinical shadowing: 72 hours of interning at dermatology practice, 19 hours of shadowing orthopedic surgeon in clinic and 7 hrs in OR. 400 hours of clinical and surgical shadowing in a variety of hospitals and clinics in Northern India (the Indian program was an intern abroad coordinated through University of Oregon where I attended at the time).
Volunteering: During summer of 2018 I’ll be a volunteer backpacking instructor for a non-profit called Big City Mountaineers. They take inner-city, low income youth on week-long backpacking expeditions. They focus on personal development, conflict resolution, communication, and leadership skills. By the end of the summer I should have roughly 425 hours with them. Also, the college outdoor club that I am part of does a good amount of volunteer work, including trail maintenance, beach cleanup, and putting on community events.
Extracurriculars: Volunteer trip leader for outdoor club at college including being on board of directors (4 years of involvement). Was a student with NOLS (national outdoor leadership school) in northern india, rural homestay, learning whitewater rafting guiding skills, 42 days backpacking in himalayas. I am also a semi-professional landscape, portrait, and travel photographer.
Employment: Camp counselor for two summers, outdoor adventure/ocean kayak guide, scribe/MA at primary care practice about 1700 hours (lots of patient interaction such as taking vitals, giving shots, running EKGs, ear lavages, etc). Now working for the summer as an expedition guide on a small cruise company in SE Alaska taking people hiking, kayaking, bushwhacking etc.
