X Factor

Was selected as 2024-2025 Homecoming Royalty of my BIG10 undergrad. Based on student vote, commitment to community, and a formal interview. First man in STEM as well as first LGBTQ+ male Royal since pre-pandemic. Represented 50,000+ students at a variety of professional events and service opportunities and worked with my undergrad administration to transform the role into some cool personalized community service. Received $1,000 I donated to charity.
I am willing to bet for some readers this may have turned them off (maybe viewed as popular/snobby), but I am so proud of this accomplishment and how genuinely hard I worked for it, and every school that I interviewed at asked me about it. I had to go through some PR/media training, and I learned a ton about how to express yourself genuinely, build relationships with ALL types of people, and still be professional. I am working on a longer writeup on everything I did during and before interviews; I really think there is a strategy to interviews to some capacity that you can keep while keeping real, authentic personality.

Please feel free to PM me ANY questions. I learned everything from the internet and will most likely be attending an ivy league med program with a scholarship. I am so so grateful for the support I've received and want to give back how I can.
