Maxwell Reyfman

I'm driven by a passion for healthcare, athletics, and giving back to those around me. Every day, I strive to bring the same dedication to my community that I bring to the field and the classroom.

About

I am a pre-health-oriented student passionate about medicine, biotechnology, and community service. My interest in healthcare has grown through hands-on experiences volunteering at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, engaging with programs like the ACComPLISH Columbia Health Program, and participating in my school's Biotech and PharmD Club.

Outside the classroom, I compete as a varsity lacrosse athlete, which has taught me discipline, resilience, and teamwork. I also dedicate my time to giving back to my community — whether that's spending time with residents at a local nursing home, running alongside children with disabilities, or supporting individuals who are visually impaired.
