As President of one of the largest medical student interest groups on campus, I had the privilege of leading a dynamic organization with over 150 active members. My role involved organizing a variety of events that not only engaged our members but also served the broader Fort Worth community. I spearheaded meetings designed to teach peers and junior medical students essential skills for working effectively in small teams. These sessions emphasized the importance of closed-loop communication, developing differential diagnoses, and managing patients in high-stress scenarios—skills critical for success in clinical settings. Additionally, I collaborated with residents to conduct hands-on skills clinics, offering invaluable practical experience. These clinics covered essential procedures such as intubation, suturing, performing E-FAST exams, and managing pediatric cardiac emergencies. Through these initiatives, I aimed to enhance both the technical expertise and confidence of our members as they prepared for their medical careers.

As the Outreach Coordinator for the Emergency Medicine Interest Group, I took on the responsibility of organizing events that bridged medical education with community engagement. I designed and facilitated workshops aimed at equipping both medical students and members of the community with life-saving skills. These events provided hands-on instruction in techniques such as hands-only CPR, proper tourniquet application, and the safe use of cervical collars to stabilize and move patients. Additionally, I created a presentation for middle school students to help them learn the decision-making process of recognizing when to contact emergency services.

As secretary of the Wilderness Medicine Interest Group, I organized and led camping trips that provided hands-on experiences in wilderness settings. I developed and instructed wilderness emergency scenarios to help participants apply medical knowledge in outdoor environments. In addition, I created and delivered presentations on wilderness first aid, ensuring that both students and outdoor enthusiasts were equipped with the skills necessary to handle medical emergencies in remote settings.

I firmly believe that being an educator is an essential role at every stage of one’s medical career: whether as a student, a resident, or an attending physician. Recognizing this, I made it a priority early in my medical journey to seek out opportunities to give back to others through teaching. During my second year, I embraced roles as a teaching assistant for both ultrasound and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), where I had the privilege of sharing my knowledge and helping my peers develop critical skills. These experiences not only allowed me to contribute to the academic growth of others but also deepened my own understanding of the subjects I taught, reinforcing my commitment to lifelong learning and mentorship.

During my time at Texas A&M EMS, I took on a range of roles that allowed me to contribute to the organization both on the front lines and behind the scenes. As an EMT, I worked 12 and 24-hour shifts, responding to 911 calls on Texas A&M property. My primary responsibilities included providing critical care on-site and ensuring safe and efficient patient transport to nearby hospitals. In addition to my clinical duties, I was selected as one of only eight members of the administrative team for the Standby Division at Texas A&M EMS. In this role, I attended monthly meetings to provide input on organizational decisions, ensuring the continued efficiency and effectiveness of the team. I also played a key role in the hiring process, assisting with the recruitment and evaluation of new trainees each quarter. I facilitated a comprehensive six-week training curriculum that included weekly meetings, skills practice, agency protocol...
