Hey everyone! My name is Jess (she/her) and I am a senior Health Professions major on the pre-PA track! I'm from East Brunswick, NJ, located in central Jersey which, contrary to popular (and wrong) beliefs, does very much exist. Temple’s close-knit honors program is what convinced me to become an owl and has continued to motivate me to become more involved in the community. Other than being a HATT, I am a Peer Instructor for the Honors First-Year Seminar class and an Honors Peer Mentor as well! I am also President of Alpha Epsilon Delta, a pre-health honor society, and the fundraising chair of HootaThon, an organization that raises money for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia! I’m also an English/Mandarin tutor at the Student Success Center and recently started volunteering as an EMT after taking the certification class offered at Temple. When I'm not in class, I’m probably playing intramural basketball, trying to find the most obscure study spot on campus, or grabbing a meal from a food truck. I am always looking for an excuse to grab coffee or boba, so, if you want to talk about any opportunities as a pre-health track or just want an excuse to get a sweet treat, let’s chat!
