 Hello! My name is Ella and I am a freshman at FAU High School. I'm planning majoring in biology and computer science, and look forward to exploring job opportunities in the medical field. It is my current dream to attend John's Hopkins for medical school, and I am very interested in learning more about the field of neuroscience. I have been volunteering for SFTFS for about a month, and I've been really enjoying helping senior citizens, mostly with getting Covid-19 vaccine appointments. Nice to meet you and have a great day!
