Happy last week of classes everyone! This semester’s final Friday Feature is Keyanna Daniels!
She is a senior majoring in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and double minoring in Screenwriting and Natural Sciences. She currently serves on our executive board as the 2019-2020 Historian/Webmaster. On campus, she is the Co-Director of the Keck Student Ambassadors, Recruitment Chair of Scholars Leading Scholars, VP of Minority Association of Pre-medical Students, and a Resident Advisor. She does research for USC Train Your Brain which helps treat PTSD through neurofeedback interventions and volunteered at UCLA Santa Monica Hospital through UCLA Care Extenders.
Upon graduation, she plans on taking two gap years before attending medical school. She hopes to work either in public health policy or in health writing.
Keyanna joined AED as a full member in Fall 2018 and her favorite memory has been “taking pictures of all of E-board for the website. I'm not an experienced photographer at all, so just getting to joke around, make people laugh, and take photos from the craziest angles was hilarious. The moments I got on camera were so goofy, genuine, and fun which is exactly what our E-board was. (*hint* *hint* go check out our website)!”
Finally, Keyanna’s best advice for AED pre-medical students is to “explore as many other interests as you can while at USC. Take a film class, add a minor, learn how to make sculptures, just do anything that's new, exciting, and could bring you joy. Being pre-med is a hard path and figuring out who you are and what you like outside of your goal of being a doctor is so important. So do it now while you're young!”
Fight on, Keyanna! ✌️
