In my second year at OSU, I was elected Service Chair of the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students, or M.A.P.S. This organization aims to better prepare minority students for the competitive process of applying to medical school. We accomplish this by providing opportunities for leadership, professional development, networking, service, as well as MCAT test preparation. This organization is important to the OSU community because it helps increase the amount of minority students pursing medicine. Minorities in the medical field are a necessity in addressing factors such as disparities in health.
As the Service Chair, it is my responsibility to get the general body more involved in the service opportunities MAPS offers so that 
they may make themselves more competitive among other pre-medical students. In the spring 2020, M.A.P.S. initiated a service partnership with the Columbus Free Clinic in which, as the Service Chair, I was the first M.A.P.S. member to participate in. As a volunteer for the Columbus Free Clinic, I provide Columbus community members who do not have access to or cannot afford healthcare. This partnership will in the futures help M.A.P.S. members in gaining healthcare related volunteer hours, potential shadowing hours, and connections with healthcare professionals. With my experience in the clinic, I have become an advocate for more M.A.P.S. members to get involved especially because representation within the clinic matters, as many of its patients are minorities.
