On February 26th, 2026, my club, MAPS (Minorities Association of Pre-Medical Students), hosted a movie documentary for Black History Month. The event lasted from 5 pm-7 pm, and setup began at 4:30 pm. I gave a short presentation about our club and the contents of the movie we would be watching. We watched The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital. We provided our members with pizza from Papa John's, chips, and Kool-Aid jammers.

Today, I had the opportunity of volunteering at the 2026 Regional Science Olympiad. At this event I was asigned to Machines Division B and C, where I was responsible for watching over students as they completed the written portion of the competition and ensured that they followed the rules of the competition when it was time to use their machines to determine the mass ratios. Additionally, myself, two other volunteer assistants, and our event leader were in charge of calculating and scoring both the written and physical portions of the competition. It was a wonderful experience as it allowed me to improve on both my organizational and leadership skills as I aided my Event Leader in order to establish order within each period and as we transitioned between the three periods.

On February 9th, 2025, my club, MAPS (Minorities Association of Pre-Medical Students), was invited to and participated in the ILC Expo x BHM Kickoff located in the EUC. I helped set up my table for the event, discussed my club's mission, and encouraged those interested in healthcare to join.
