Hi, I’m Nicole Moulas.  I am a first-year Molecular Genetics student and a member of ACES (Advocates for Community and Education Scholars).  My hometown is Cincinnati, Ohio, and I graduated from Anderson High School.  While in high school, I played tennis, sang in two different choirs, participated in my high school’s theater department, and was involved in the National Honor Society.  In many of these activities I found a passion for leadership, whether it was as a team captain, choir president, or chapter treasurer.  On top of the extra-curricular activities I participated, I spent a lot of time volunteering in my community.  I have helped tutor Spanish one students. For three years, I was a Peer Counselor that taught fifth-grade students about peer pressure, communication skills, and assertiveness.  I acted as a Link Leader my junior and senior year of high school, helping freshmen with their orientation and acclimating to the high school environment.  While, ACES does not exactly align with my major, I hope that it will help me stay in touch with my love of leadership and volunteering.
