<p>Internship: For the past two summers, I have been an intern in a research lab at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD with a prominent scientist. His main project was discovering the effects of estrogen on the levels of stress and anxiety in rats. I worked with the lab rats the first summer and then did several assays the second summer. I was published in the research paper as well! (Two professors at UVA and one professor at Duke have been involved in the same type of research yet seeing the affects on mice instead of rats- do you recommend contacting them?) </p>
<p>Volunteer: In March 2007, I went with a group from school to volunteer in a Romanian Orphanage for a week
This summer (July 2008) I went with Global Routes on a four week trip to Ecuador- I lived with a family in a rural community and built a "casa communal", a "comedor", and painted several buildings with the group
Periodically I volunteer as a candy striper at the local hospital- I already have 72 volunteer hours there

I was a "townsperson" in our schools production of Footloose my freshman year, I've taken both the drama class and the directors class during the school day, and I co-directed a small play in our school's Spring One-Acts (Senior year, I will try out for the winter musical and I will direct another One-Act in the spring)</p>
