-Acknowledgement in a paper published in cancer research
Shadowing Experience:
-125 hrs with a gastroenterologist, plastic surgeon, colorectal surgeon, general practitioner, and a naturopath (80 hrs of this is considered medical volunteer work)
Other volunteer work:
-Served as a violinist/dancer in cultural festivals for a cultural group: 2005 - present
-Taught English in China: 1 month in 2008
-Served as Hawaii's youth delegate to an international conference on education: 2 weeks in 2005
