“Learn to be quiet enough to hear the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others.”
–Marian Wright Edelman
With the hope of being more involved in after-school activities, Arianna reluctantly trailed behind her friends into her first HOSA meeting as a sophomore with close to zero clue about what to expect. However, as her journey in HOSA progressed, Arianna realized this wasn’t just a mere “club”, but a multitude of opportunities to grow as a future health professional as well as find her voice as a leader in order to help support those around her. Her love for HOSA was deepened even as secretary of her chapter where she grew into an uplifting force striving to inspire others while gaining vast HOSA knowledge. As time went on, Arianna’s desire to be a guiding arm for her community was additionally strengthened through her time as a HOSA Connect intern where she worked to find and support possible HOSA chapters across Minnesota. Now looking onwards, Arianna couldn’t be more elated as well as honored to serve as your Minnesota HOSA Vice President of Growth for the 2026-2027 term.
As a senior at Lakeville South High School, Arianna hopes to combine her passionate love for biology with her constant desire to serve those around her in order to become a biomedical engineer. HOSA has already propelled Arianna miles forward in this goal by allowing her to explore her biomedical interests while simultaneously providing her with an adequate space that allows her voice to be heard. Arianna hopes to translate her need to support her community into her work as an integral part of HOSA by helping members feel continuously welcomed and guided throughout her term.
When Arianna isn’t talking the ear off of the poor, nearest soul about what a spectacular organization HOSA is, you can usually find her stress baking right before a test, getting lost in one of the the worlds of her never-ending collection of books, or trying a new cafe in Minnesota as a self-proclaimed coffee connoisseur. She additionally shares a hidden, but tremendous passion for video games; you will often find her making up outrageous storylines for her Sims 4 characters or even awake past midnight, deep researching the truest and most accurate Five Nights at Freddy’s lore. With a true optimist’s mind, Arianna looks forward to a future filled with having a leading hand in helping members find their voices the same way Minnesota HOSA did for her!
