Synapse Club – Member
Virginia Tech
Synapse club served as my first undergraduate organization where I was able to see my real-life examples of topics taught in my lectures. More specifically, I was able to learn about traumatic brain injuries in class, then attend Synapse meetings with locals who have endured such injuries.
My time spent with the Synapse club allowed me to understand, to a better degree, the social, physiological, and economic toll that a traumatic brain injury can have on one's life.

Phi Sigma Kappa - Scholarship Chair
Virginia Tech
Throughout my fraternal pledge process, I helped brothers create study schedules that fit their needs. Due to this, once initiated, I was appointed to scholarship chair. In the following semesters, the fraternity earned an average GPA higher than the All-Fraternity & Sorority life average, All-Undergraduate average, and All-Men’s average at Virginia Tech. These awards led to my nomination and subsequent trip to Dallas, Texas for the ZillGitt Leadership Institute. There, I connected with brothers from across the nation to discuss topics ranging from identity to implicit bias. Bringing back lessons learned, my chapter saw a 15% increase in recruitment the following semester.

Ten.Thousand.cc - Campus Ambassador
Virginia Tech
Becoming a sponsored athlete and campus ambassador for a fitness brand was a goal of mine from the start of my online training journey. Ten.Thousand was a great company that helped me host a powerlifting event and various tabling events within Virginia Tech.
I still have a discount code "Bouras" if anyone is interested in getting a discounted price on any Ten.Thousand.cc clothes. I recommend their athletic shorts and compression pants.

Calisthenics Club – Cofounder
Virginia Tech
The calisthenics club began after meeting fellow students that were passionate about bodyweight exercises. We began meeting at scheduled times to work on various goals and eventually decided to make an organized club to take in new members.
Upon the creation of the club, I led program creation, implementation, and facilitation with all members. I developed goal-specific exercise routines for members of all starting levels. I helped many members achieve goals including planches, handstand pushups, muscle-ups, and the human flag.

Red Cross Club – Blood Services Leader
Virginia Tech
I joined the Red Cross club with the goal of providing ample supplies of blood through my various connections on campus. My medical scribing experience showed me how frequently patients in the emergency department need blood donations to survive, so I decided to join the club and increase our blood donation totals.
After being promoted to the Blood Services Leader, I was able to increase monthly donation totals 10% and semesterly totals up 25% compared to past months and semesters.

MCAT Preparation Club - Founder
Virginia Tech
After creating MCAT Daily Prep, I decided to form a group for students to motivate and educate one another throughout their MCAT preparation. For my self-studying, I formed a group with pseudonymous studiers around the country. Having supportive students at our same school helped students achieve their goal MCAT scores.
As the founder, I shared resources, created study programs, and connected students of similar progress to each other. Now, newer students have taken over as the leaders of the group.

Ethos Club – Executive Member
Virginia Tech
The Ethos club members gathered consensus of what financial topics fellow students were least knowledgeable about and recruited appropriate figures to give speeches on those topics. The club targeted non-financial majors who were interested in learning useful skills related to finance. My role revolved around the social media marketing and financial figure recruitment.
