Hello! My name is Brian Kent! I am a senior from Marietta, Georgia. I am majoring in chemistry and physics with minors in math and biology, and I hope to attend medical school after graduating from UA. Outside of class I am a member of the club water polo team for Alabama, I volunteer at DCH Regional Medical Center, I lead the PIP Mentoring Program through DCH and CrossingPoints, and I do research in cognitive neuroscience. In my free time, I often play pickup basketball with my friends, write poetry, and spend time with friends and family!  

As the president of AED for the 2023-2024 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! 

Hi! My name is Sydney Brennan, and I am a senior on the pre-med track from Highlands Ranch, CO. I am a psychology major minoring in biology and food & nutrition. I am currently involved in ambulance telemedicine research, the Emerging Scholars program, the Honors College as an intern, Phi Mu sorority, volunteering at DCH Regional Medical Center, and mentoring at Therapeutic Riding of Tuscaloosa. I have been volunteering in hospitals since I was in 8th grade and have felt a calling towards medicine since I was a little girl! I plan to graduate in 2024, take a gap year, attend medical school, and someday pursue a career as a physician. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, Alabama football, and skiing when I’m home. I was also the Secretary for the 2022-2023 year!  

As the Secretary for the 2023–2024 school year, I will be accountable for tracking meeting attendance, recording initiation points, and communicating with members through our website and weekly emails. I am also in charge of our Student of the Week initiative where we recognize a student doing great things on campus.  

I strive to be an approachable and easily accessible resource for individuals with questions about meetings, membership, and the pre-health journey in general, so feel free to email me at any time. I am honored to serve alongside the other executive board members, and I am looking forward to a great year! Roll tide!!
