<li><p>Community Service
Moffitt Cancer Center - Clinical Research Unit Volunteer (2 summers) ~ 180hrs
I am required to help the nurses in aiding the research patients, this includes stocking necessary equipment in order to prepare for treatment of the patient, and aiding in the transportation of laboratory samples/specimens. I must also ensure that the patients needs are met with regards to both comfort and physical well-being. Apart from physically aiding the unit, I am also required to help file and organize paperwork for incoming/outgoing patients. I am responsible for completing any assigned task deemed appropriate and necessary by the staff.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The Palms of Largo: Assisted Living - Volunteer (1 summer) ~ 50hrs
I was required to help ensure the safety of the assisted residents, report complaints and irregularities, and overall help to entertain and help facilitate ongoing activities for the residents whether it was organizing an event or ensuring the utmost safety.</p>
<p>Other Opportunities:
Executive Internship Program: USF St. Petersburg Ecosystems Technology Group (85 hours)
In this internship, I had the opportunity to work with the members of the Ecosystems Technology Group at USF. Through this internship I gained a better understanding of the application of biological engineering in the real world. I believe that this internship benefited me by allowing me to test the extent of my knowledge and work with the team of professionals to create a bathymetric map of a nearby lake as well as creating a plan of execution to deploy a mass spectrometer to see how the lake was affected on a microscopic level. In addition to the actual field work, I also helped the researchers by writing a very brief analysis on the technology readiness level of mass transfer based non-acoustic sensors as a part of a larger work. Overall, this internship introduced me to the advanced topics I will cover as a biomedical engineer in college.</p>
<p>What are my chances? Thank you in advance!</p>
