About Me:
​Heyyy HOSA! I’m so thrilled to be your President for this next year, and I hope you’re just as thrilled. This is my 8th year in HOSA, and if that doesn’t scream obsessed, I don’t know what does. My favorite HOSA memory has to be this past ILC in Nashville, Tennessee, where UT Austin definitely swept, but I cherish all the opportunities and people HOSA offers! When I’m not busy being obsessed with HOSA, you can find me curled up with a good book, volunteering, playing UNO (I currently have 10 unique decks), enjoying a meal at my favorite spot, Kismet Cafe, or exploring new boba places around Austin. I’m also a SHVLP Trainer at Dell Seton, a WiSTEM Outreach Ambassador, and part of ASBMB and IBTL. I’m almost always lurking at every HOSA event, so don’t be a stranger and reach out anytime (and I mean anytime, I rarely sleep)!
