As a second-year HOSA member, I could not be more grateful for the opportunities it has offered me, both personally and professionally. After I joined HOSA, I realized that I do have a voice that is yet unexplored, and so I decided that I would try to get myself into any and every opportunity I find everywhere and go for it if I can. HOSA’s core values of learning, leading, serving, and innovating guided me through this process as I went through various opportunities with different organizations. I joined LOUDwomen, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowered young women through educational equity, as a policy researcher and wrote a policy brief with a team on healthcare equity in Arkansas because I wanted to learn more about the status quo of healthcare in Arkansas. To further my horizons with LOUDwomen, I joined the executive team to lead the finance department and the host LOUDwomen Institute, a free public speaking and leadership camp for students of all ages. I have been an active volunteer and Senior Representative at my school’s chapter of the National Beta Club and HOSA, wherein I had the chance to volunteer at several events and organize some. To connect all the dots of community service and my passion for healthcare equity, I joined Senator Boozman’s Congressional Youth Cabinet’s Fentanyl Crisis team as a Vice Team lead to drive the team’s journey to write a policy proposal to present to Senator Boozman. While I did have the chance to meet with so many amazing individuals through these positions, I did learn a lot about the right kind of leadership skills, such as active communication, strong organization, empathy, authenticity, and delegation. These are extremely crucial to build upon, I have realized over time because they have helped me understand my roles and myself better and lead my teams to success by giving everyone an equal opportunity to contribute to a team as I learned in my role as the Vice Team Lead at CYC. Now, as I am applying for the AR-HOSA’s state office, I would like to take another deep dive into another responsibility, one that I am confident that I will do justice to as I build upon my experiences to be an Honest, Optimistic, Self-Aware, and Ambitious leader while finding a purpose to my voice!
