HOSPITAL VOLUNTEERING

01 / MY EXPERIENCE

Where I contributed.

During the summer before my sophomore year, I volunteered at Mary Immaculate Hospital. My work covered two areas: the front desk and materials management. This gave me an introduction to different kinds of support within a hospital setting.

01 / INVOLVEMENT

Front desk

I worked in the hospital’s front desk area, supporting the reception side of the hospital. This was a visitor-facing setting where clear communication and professionalism are important.

02 / INVOLVEMENT

Materials management

I also worked in materials management, the area concerned with hospital materials and supplies. This introduced me to the behind-the-scenes support involved in a healthcare setting, alongside my time at the front desk.

02 / THE WIDER PICTURE

Part of my
community involvement.

The experience is part of my broader commitment to community service, alongside YMCA volunteering and the development of OneThread. It represents a different way to contribute beyond my technology projects.
