Personal Statement

From a young age, I was speaking up for those without a voice. I began my trek of advocating for equal healthcare opportunities at my local church. I would provide food to the homeless and aid with pro-life campaigns, speaking up for children not yet born. In a society that continues to revise economic policies, I understand not every individual can be assured quality healthcare insurance, but they should never feel despair. As a result, I have dedicated myself to humanitarian projects that seek to take action and combat the disparity seen in the local community. Serving as class president at Converse College, I offer my leadership with blood drives and clothing donations. I also work at hospital fundraisers that support cardiovascular healthcare services and donate money to patients with terminal diseases. I am involved with Habitat for Humanity, building houses for those not financially stable and I volunteer at the Pelham Medical Center, offering comfort to patients of varying economic backgrounds. Anyone can be forced into a financial situation that leaves them at odds with receiving proper healthcare. Through my community efforts, I realize that offering my time and talents can alleviate the stress people have with navigating healthcare organizations and companies.
