Sophie Le
Volunteer Co-Chair
Hello! I am a sophomore majoring in Biology with a minor in Accounting, and I’m from Little Rock, Arkansas. I serve as an Academic Tutor at the CORD and as a Fulbright Ambassador. Beyond academics and campus involvement, I love exploring outdoor activities and visiting coffee shops around Fayetteville. Volunteering is one of my passions because I truly enjoy giving back to the community. If you’re a pre-med student who shares a similar passion, I hope to connect and work together on meaningful events that make a positive impact. Feel free to reach out, and I look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming AED volunteer events!
