Clara Armon

Hi! My name is Clara Armon, and I am a biomedical engineering student on a pre-med track at Boston University. I am passionate about helping others reach their goals to yield the excellence that everyone is capable of with the right willingness to learn and instruction. I aspire to become a PCP after medical school and work with Doctors Without Borders and well as Engineers without Borders to use what I learn to give opportunities of healthcare to those who need it most. I have taught ESOL adult classes, digital game design courses using  Unreal Engine, tutored students in school subjects, coached middle school girls basketball recreational teams, worked as a camp counselor at an overnight adventure camp, interned at labs and hospitals to gain incredible knowledge and experience, started and ran the Hispanic & Latino Student Union at my high school, and I have been volunteering with many organizations for years now with over 450 volunteer hours. I have a diverse background of knowledge and experience and would be happy to help in any way fit given my abilities. Please feel free to reach out with research, tutoring, teaching, assistant, or leadership opportunities.
