What I've done: In High School  I was in Show Choir for  3 years, I was vice president of Key Club, I volunteered for a couple of years at Rehabilitation Hospital in Indianapolis, worked at Bath and Bodyworks and was a camp counselor at the Healthplex.

What I'm doing: I volunteer in the Office of Diversity Education, am President of the
Multicultural Greek Council and teach Indian Dance to girls aged 7-10 at the Asian
Culture Center.

What I Aspire to Do: I hope to finish out my degree in Speech in Hearing Sciences in this next year, study abroad to improve my Spanish and Hindi proficiency, pursue an M.A. in Speech Pathology and work in hospitals throughout the U.S. Eventually I would like to have my own practice that focuses on the needs of the elderly from underrepresented backgrounds and do volunteer therapy in 3rd world countries during my free time.
