I am a Biomedical Engineering student, minoring in Chemistry, at the University of South Carolina with aspirations of going to medical school and pursuing radiology. For the past three and a half years, working as an Air and Missile Defense Crewmember in the South Carolina Army National Guard has instilled in me a strong work ethic, and a passion for what I do. Additionally, my shadowing experience in the MRI department at Spartanburg Medical Center has given me a deeper and meaningful understanding for the work that goes into a career in the medical field. My shadowing experience has further ensured that this the right career path for me. I believe both of these experiences bring a valuable skillset for future jobs and opportunities.
