**Research**
Physical Chemistry Research, specifically quantum mechanics research with computational chemistry on the investigation of energy transfer within biological systems. Not published, but have done one poster with a few undergraduate research conference presentations (~200 hours)
**Volunteering (clinical)**
Volunteer EMT for approximately 2 years while going through paramedic school (~24 hours / week).
Volunteered to assisted CPR and First Aid instructors in low-income communities to provide community outreach and raise public awareness towards emergencies (out of hospital cardiac arrest, etc) on behalf of Emergency Medical Services associations. (~8 hour sessions, 4 times a year).
**Physician shadowing – include hours/specialties**
Shadowed a DO Family Practice for 40 hours.
**Non-clinical volunteering**
Run a full-time animal and farm rescue with my family at our home. We foster dogs, cats, horses, goats, etc until we find them a home.
**Extracurricular activities**
Not really much other than previously listed volunteer activities, I work and go to school both full time (full time nights work, full time days school).
**Employment history**
Worked in an ICU/CCU full time (40 hours / week) as a tech for 2 years.
Currently work two jobs as a Paramedic full time nights (~60 hours / week) for the past 5 years (~10,000 hours combined patient side time) as I support myself through school.
Interested in working in underserved communities. Looking to go MD or DO, no preference!
Thanks for your input!
