Alisa Romanovsky

I am a dedicated and ambitious student that is eager to continue my education at the University of Albany. I am planning to major in biochemistry on a pre-pharmacy track. Throughout high school, I have consistently put in an extensive amount of effort and hard work to achieve my goals. With perseverance, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout both my middle and high school years. Furthermore, I am very active in my community, and have participated in many extracurricular and volunteer activities, many of which I have had a leadership role in. Some examples include being secretary of National Honor Society, president of Key Club, being a part of Recreational Tennis Club, being a part of Yearbook club, and being the secretary of Student Government club. I look forward to participating in similar activities, clubs, and organizations in college, and strongly believe that I possess the skills necessary to succeed in them.
