Hello New York HOSA! My name is Gabriella Harfouche and I am honored to be serving as your Secretary and Reporter this year. I am a senior at the Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart, and have been involved in HOSA since Freshman year. In addition to HOSA, I am a student-athlete who has participated in both soccer and lacrosse, and I have had the opportunity to gain a variety of experiences through medical centers such as Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Erie County Medical Center. These experiences have helped shape my passion for medicine and pushed my aspirations toward becoming either an emergency physician or a surgical oncologist. I have a passion for serving and building connections with others and I do so through being the president of my parish’s Maronite Youth Organization. Some of my favorite things to do are taking walks, traveling, and learning about different cultures and languages. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and I am so excited for all of the memories we will share!
