My name is Jessica Hoff. I was born and raised in Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana. I’m currently majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minoring in Chemistry at Louisiana State University in Shreveport (LSUS). My brilliant two-year-old daughter, Miriam, is my world and loves to accompany me on both my academic and personal life endeavors. We adore education through music, art, literature, laughter, and adventure. I consider myself a prime example of the “Nontraditional Student” who had to overcome much to make the most out of the opportunities life provides. I come from a large family and found late in my high school educational career my passion in life. This passion was to advance society. Shortly after this realization I strongly felt the need to achieve my dream through science, education, and communication. After ample growth and involvement in my science organizations on campus I felt the urge for something even more. I quickly found after one simple search online, the beautiful American Medical Women’s Association. Although my daughter was merely a year old, I knew I needed to start a branch at my university! Too many students, many like myself, could utilize this opportunistic organization to help advance their professional and personal growth. I have a genuine passion for the sciences and after this Spring semester comes to an end I will be parting with my dear undergraduate institution along with my leadership roles at said institution. As the new Region 5 Director of AMWA’s Premedical Division I can honestly say I’m very eager to watch the growth, development, and accomplishments within our region and our neighboring regions throughout the Nation. AMWA has helped my become the absolute best version of myself and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities provided through this wonderful organization.
