Carly Malesky
Class of 2021
"It was exciting to see the campers engaged in learning how blood flows through the heart, encouraging me to recruit more volunteers to gain meaningful insight into the lives and capabilities of those Horizons serves."
Carly graduated from UConn this past May with a dual degree in physiology and neurobiology and psychology, and a minor in neuroscience. During her freshman and sophomore years, she volunteered with Camp Horizons, and in her junior year, she became Program Director. One of her favorite lessons she led at Camp Horizons focused on cardiac health.
Currently, Carly is a first-year medical student at UConn continuing her passion for disability advocacy on the board of disabilities interest group. She is also involved with the Urban Service Track and has been collaborating with senior centers in Hartford to provide education on the COVID vaccine and resources for testing.
Carly reflects that she has CO to thank for encouraging her growth as a leader in her community and providing her with a deeper understanding of the impact of her service. When not volunteering, Carly likes eating a ton of ice cream ("even if it means postponing a staff meeting with Erin") and staying active enough to balance it all out. She also loves hiking and being by the beach.
