Hi, my name is Aubrey Mae Tew, and I am a senior at South Central High school. I am participating in the Brody School of Medicine Honors Research Program. I am a Teen Ambassador for the Ronald McDonald House. I have been an ambassador for the past two years. I love volunteering at ECU Health through the “VolunTEEN” program. I am also involved in a number of clubs and National Honors Societies at my school. I am so excited to deep dive into the world of research.

Hi! My name is McKenna Brantley. I am a senior at South Central High School and a participant in the Brody School of Medicine Research Program. I currently intern in the Acute Physical and Occupational Therapy Department at ECU Health Hospital, where I’ve gained hands-on experience in patient care and rehabilitation. I am also in my second year as a Ronald McDonald House Teen Ambassador, and I serve as President of my school’s Key Club, a student-led service organization committed to community involvement. After high school, I plan to major in nursing and later apply to Physician Assistant school.
