Hello, my name is Ella Peterman, and I am honored to be serving as an Operations Branch Lead. I am a junior pursing a B.S. in Biomedical sciences, a B.S. in Ocean Futures, and a minor in Spanish. Since joining REACT my freshman year, my favorite experiences have been during our education workshops, where I've seen participants grow more confident in their English and become more engaged in the material. These experiences have strengthened my passion for supporting and uplifting refugee populations, which I hope to continue through a career in medicine.
