Jeremy Riekena
Hello! My name is Jeremy Riekena and I am a Junior majoring in Neurobiology and Global Health. I hope to go into Medicine after undergraduate school. Other interests of mine include Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, ultimate Frisbee, lifting and mixing music. One fun fact about myself is that when I’m sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. What I love most about HOSA is the many hard working, fun and motivated friends that I have made.
Hope Villiard
My name is Hope Villiard and I am a Senior majoring in Biology and will be starting Medical School in August, with an emphasis in Rural Medicine. Other interests of mine include working as an MA at UHS, being a research assistant with the Adolescent Health Research Term and volunteering at UW Hospital. I also love running, being in the outdoors and watching/playing sports. What I love most about HOSA is getting to know new people and making great friends who share many of the same interests, goals and passions as I do!
