Hi! My name is Halle Kate Harned and I'm from Paducah, Kentucky. I am a junior pursuing a degree in Biology on a Pre-Medicine track. I hope to attend medical school following graduation to become a cardiothoracic surgeon. 

Along with being an ambassador, I am a member of the University of Kentucky's Lewis Honors College, Alpha Phi Iota Nu chapter on campus, Panhellenic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee, and By-Laws committee for the chapter. In my free time, I love to draw and paint, listen to music, skateboard, and weightlift. A great thing about UK is having the opportunity to meet so many people with similar and different hobbies. When choosing UK, the campus and welcoming atmosphere played a crucial role in my decision, since then I have made my best friends and become a member of organizations that have taught and exposed me to so much. I would say some of my favorite memories on campus include participating in Greek Sing with my chapter, going to "Willy T." to study and grab a coffee with my best friends, and Paint Wars!

Please feel free to reach out to me about any questions or advice about campus, the College of Arts and Science, or anything else!
