As the founder of Heal for Health North Carolina, I’ve led multiple initiatives aimed at reducing health disparities. One project involved launching a Medical Book Project, where I organized teams of medical professionals, undergraduates, and high school students to co-create mini-books on various medical topics. I secured funding and led distribution efforts, donating over 300 books globally. We’re also currently planning a virtual internship program to offer students from underserved communities exposure to the healthcare field.

Additionally, I served as a Youth Advisor for a Summer Social Justice Academy, where I was responsible for program planning, outreach, and logistics. These experiences have helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and partnership-building skills.
