Hi! My name is Brianna Boeckeler, and I am a third-year student from Northborough, MA and a Pre-Dental student majoring in Biological Sciences and Psychology with a minor in Leadership Studies. I aspire to be a pediatric dentist.

I am currently involved in the Pre-Dental Club (for which I am the President), Delta Epsilon Mu Pre-Health Fraternity (for which I am the Director of Internal Affairs), Women in STEM Club, NMDP (formerly “Be The Match”), Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, the Italian Club, and I am a Pre-Health Student Ambassador. I belong to the National Society of Leadership and Success, Golden Key International Honour Society, and Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society. Also, I play 3 intramural sports: soccer, volleyball, and futsal. I work on campus as a URI 101 Mentor, a BIO 103 UTA, and I tutor student-athletes through the Advising Programs for Student-Athletes (APSA). Additionally, I am involved in the Kids Development and Stress (KiDS) Lab, under the direction of Dr. Justin Parent at URI.

I wanted to become an Honors Program Ambassador because I wanted to inspire and guide other students interested in the Honors Program here at URI. I am also pursuing a Leadership Studies minor, and I thought that being an Honors Program Ambassador would be beneficial for me as well, by fostering and further developing my leadership and interpersonal skills. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding URI’s Honors Program!
