Past Officers
Blood Drive Officer
Hesam Safari
My name is Hesam. I am a senior majoring in Biochemistry, and I want to go to medical school after graduation. In my free time, I like to play with different electronics so, naturally, I build PCs for friends and family. I’ve been fascinated with the chemistry of living organisms since I can remember so I have a lot of fun pursuing my degree and doing research, even though it gets challenging sometimes! Since I am trained in phlebotomy, I like being a part of the Blood Drive Committee as it is related to something I enjoy and it has a big impact on the community, given the frequent blood supply shortages.
