Meet Our State Officer Candidates
Brelyn Bowman
Baton Rouge Magnet High School
Hello, My name is Brelyn. I am a junior at Baton Rouge High, and I am running for the state officer secretary position. Choosing me as your secretary would be a great choice because I have very exceptional organization skills, pay attention to detail, and have effective communication abilities. My commitment to being reliable and a good listener, and also with my dedication with creating positive relationships and promoting collaboration within the organization will benefit Hosa.
Hannah Bradley
Mandeville High School
Hello, I am Hannah Bradley. I would love to be your Region 3 Vice President for the 2024-2025 year. I go to Mandeville High School
and have been involved in the HOSA program for two years. I loved to see what an impact this program had on students like you.
I aspire to be an OBGYN one day. I want to make a difference in my life. I have tried to make positive changes at my school and
would love to do the same with HOSA. Thank you for your consideration. I promise if you elect me, I will do my best for all of you.

Ibrahim Khan
Sherwood Middle Academic
Magnet School
My name is Ibrahim Khan and I want to become the HOSA Middle School Ambassador. There might be a lot of people applying for
this position but I should be the one elected. First, I'm a team player. Even though I'll be younger than all the state officers at the
meetings, I'll fit right in, especially since I was surrounded by older kids in my family. I'm also smart and a great strategist. I know
what people like and as ambassador I could easily sell the idea of HOSA and it would appeal to everyone. I'm also dedicated. This
position will require my work and attention at all times but that won't stop me. I've been out of state many times so attending of
out of state meetings will not be a problem. I've also optimized my school work so procrastinating won't get in the way of my
main commitment. Overall, there's so much criteria that's needed to be a HOSA Middle School Ambassador and I fill all of them.

Jannat Adnan Anwar
Kenner Discovery Health Sciences Academy
Making a difference has also been one of my top priorities in life. I am deeply committed to this and want to influence the direction of this community. Elected officials must establish a shared vision for the future which I am more than happy to do. Challenges are what makes this work. It’s what makes shaping our shared future possible. I am deeply dedicated and compassionate about this and would love to represent this community.
Whitney Kibodeaux
Rayne High School
Being elected as a HOSA State Officer means I can have a positive impact on you! As a state officer I plan on making several appearances throughout the year promoting our organization. In addition to that to bring more members in I would like to partner with other youth organizations to spread on what HOSA is and why it is so beneficial. With my strong work ethic and previous experiences I feel as if I am the best choice. I am looking forward to dedicating this next year if elected to listen to your concerns and ideas so that we can make Louisiana HOSA even better!
Blaise Muguira
St. Paul's School
My name is Blaise Muguira and I believe I am the best candidate for the region 3 vice president because I am willing to put my duties towards HOSA before others, I am very hard working, and have the team skills I believe are necessary for a leadership position. Once I have decided that I want to or have to do something I will not stop until I have completed it. A good example of this work ethic would be my diabetes. I am a type 1 diabetic This is a great example of my hard working ethic because dieting and exercise is known among people to be extremely hard and even harder to stick to a plan required for type 1. I have surrounded myself with people who care for me and want the best for me, because of this I believe that I have built the necessary team skills needed for a leadership position like this, since one person alone cannot always make the best decisions. For example the president has advisors and a cabinet of gifted people who help him make the decisions they think as a group is best. If this is necessary at the highest level of leadership, then it should be treated with the utmost importance at this level. This all brings around my point that I should be elected over others because of my team skills, my willingness to put my officer duties first, and my hard work ethic.
Anulika Kanonu
Rayne High School
Hello, my name is Anulika Kanonu, I am currently in the ninth grade at Rayne High School. HOSA was my first club that I joined at
Rayne High, and I intend to dedicate my next four years of high school to it. At the end of my high-school journey, I would like to
attend a college that'll accommodate my goal of being a Dermatologist. If I was elected as President-Elect for HOSA, my goal would
be to help this organization grow both in members and opportunities.

Elianah Mendez
Slidell High School
Hello, I'm Elianah Mendez, and I'm running for Vice President Region 3. To me, HOSA has grown to mean community. It means
expanding my knowledge of the medical field with my peers. It means creating lasting friendships and giving back to the
community. I hope to contribute my leadership abilities and enthusiastic personality to HOSA. I thrive in collaborative
environments and enjoy working with others towards a common goal. I hope to expand my knowledge of the healthcare
field and help others to expand theirs as well. With my decision-making and problem-solving skills, I am confident in my
ability to manage the responsibilities of a state officer. Becoming a state officer and making an impact would be an amazing
opportunity for me.

Gabrielle Essex
Natchitoches Central High School
Hey guys, my name is Gabrielle Essex. I'm a junior at Natchitoches Central High School, and I'm running for the position of
Region 1 vice president. As president of my local chapter, I would love to expand my leadership skills further by becoming a
regional officer. I feel I would do very well in this position because of my plan to frequently promote HOSA to grow its
membership on all levels and network with other excellent State officers to better Region 1 and grow the organization. HOSA
plays a significant role in my life, personally and educationally. Not only has HOSA provided me with so much information and
opportunity to learn about the medical field, but it has also taught me exceptional social skills and introduced me to wonderful
people all over the world. I hope to meet you wonderful people in March at SLC. See you guys soon.
