- Fall 2023
By Amauri Barnes
My name is Amauri Barnes. I am a senior here at Tennessee State University. My major is biology with a minor in English. I am from Detroit, Michigan where I graduated from Cass Technical High School.
With my degree I
will become a Cardiovascular Perfusionist. A perfusionist (for short) operates
the heart and lung machine that artificially replaces a patient’s heart and
lung functions during surgery. This summer I worked three jobs. I worked in
Corewell Health Hospital formerly known as Beaumont in Child Labor and
Delivery, Arden Courts Memory Care as an Activities Coordinator, and as a Legal
Assistant at Flood Law. Each week I maxed out at, at least 120 hours between
all three jobs. What interested me in the medical field was being able to help
others and be apart making a difference in surgery!
Writing papers
and reading comprehension has always come easy to me. I chose to minor in
English because it supports me in every work field I could dream of pursuing.
Someday I would love to teach either children or young adults in college.
My favorite
aspect of English is history and poetry. Working at Flood Law this summer was
the best experience ever! I was required to do a lot of reading and critical
thinking. I was surrounded by some amazing, hardworking, and most of all
genuine people. This began my interest in possibly working in a courthouse as a
clerk or even an investigator. The biggest take away from working for and
observing attorney Todd Flood was “What you work for can be achieved, ifyou do
the work required to achieve it!”
In my free time
I love reading, playing with my dog, cook, do hair, research real estate and
other ventures of income, and most recently, reading court cases! I am looking forward to bringing all of that
experience to this new position and sharing everything the department has to
offer to students both in and out of the classroom.
