Sophia Sachs

Hello! My name is Sophia and I am currently a first-year undergraduate student at Northeastern University. I am majoring in cell and molecular biology and minoring in psychology on a pre-medicine track.

The summer before my junior year of high school, I became an emergency medical technician and have been working at my town's volunteer ambulance corps ever since. Becoming an EMT exposed my love for emergency medicine and providing care to the underserved.

During high school, I founded a club for prospective emergency medical technicians and students that were interested in emergency medicine. During our bi-weekly meetings, we talked about various topics such as oxygenation methods, cardiac/respiratory arrest, triage, and bleeding control, and connected members with our town's ambulance corps. I also participated in my high school's tutoring club and Spanish club which allowed me to provide for younger students who were looking to improve their education about various topics.

My life goal is to provide disburden and happiness to patients of all ages through medical care. I am most passionate about providing medical care to underserved communities. One way I have achieved this is by providing emergency medical care for my hometown through my town's volunteer ambulance corps. I truly enjoy being an EMT and being able to provide relief and care to my community. Being thanked by my patients is something that motivates me to achieve my future life goals.
