Alexander Underwood '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Alexander Underwood and I go to Georgetown High School and am graduating in the class of 2023. Going to college is a chance to be representative of my mental tenacity, proving that I am not my past, I am capable of hard work, and I can accomplish anything that I set my mind to. I have found that the majority of my strengths come from emotional collectiveness and perspective. I have naturally been a leader both during sports and in the classroom; allotting advice and support to anybody who is struggling or needs help. Being given the opportunity to be an athlete in college will only allow me to extend those strengths and help teach me perseverance and hard work. As far as academically, I plan to study biochemistry and teach for a few years before getting a Ph.D. and advancing into biochemical research with a focus on ssri's (mental health medicine). I am a very passionate individual and I am hoping to enforce change and advocate for working/lower-class individuals to make medicine more accessible. With that being said, that is what I can bring to the table for your team: I am collected and logical and will always accept advice for improvement. I am driven in what I do, and my integrity is tough to compromise.
