I believe that to be a true leader in todays society it takes more than just a fancy title or position held in a state office. When we began evaluating what it is that makes others feel respected and heard within a community such as HOSA, we can see that it often comes back to the leadership they are surrounded by. Although I intend to pursue a career in the medical field, HOSA has always been a second home to me. I want to share my experiences with students all over Arkansas to help them understand that they are seen and heard. I truly believe that when we make our common goals in healthcare heard and understood we are set for a promising future before us. Therefore, if you choose to have me as your state officer, then I will devote all of my time and efforts into ensuring that every individual member has a greater chance at success as we walk alongside each other in the pursuit of a better and healthier tomorrow.
