I'm striving to become a Cardiothoracic Surgeon, so my goal for this internship search was to find this particular surgeon that would be willing to allow me to shadow them. After relentless searching, emailing, and calling I was able to find a fitting internship at the Veteran Affairs Hospital in La Jolla. My mentor granted me the rare opportunity to sit in on surgeries and observe the works of a surgeon on a daily basis.

At the beginning of the semester we collaborated with the California Innocence Project to evaluate real criminal case files. We then created an inter-office memo stating the facts of whether or not we believe the convicted is innocent. Later on, we created a book called the Land of the "Free" depicting the flaws within our justice system, solutions for these flaws, and a flash fiction to better communicate these flaws to the audience.
