As the president of AED for the 2024-2025 school year, I will oversee the AED executive board and all of the events and opportunities that we offer as an organization. I plan to incorporate a wide variety of speakers into our meetings that will provide useful insights, advice, and opportunities to help guide you all through your journey as pre-health students. I also hope to foster a sense of community among everyone in AED so that each student may form close relationships with other pre-health students during their time at the university. I am always happy to answer any questions that anyone may have, so feel free to email me or stop in on my office hours! I am excited to serve as your president this year, and I look forward to getting to know all of you this year! Roll Tide!
