DELPHOS — Tricia Warnecke is a first-year medical student at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine who first became interested in medicine when she broke her foot as a child.
Warnecke worked as a nurse’s aide while going working on her undergraduate degree in biology at University of Saint Francis, Fort Wayne, Ind. She was the valedictorian biology major and served as a medical scribe in an emergency department.
She volunteered around campus during this time. She helped raise funding for a Haitian orphanage, helped sign up blood marrow donors and raised funds to support the National Down Syndrome Society.
Warnecke won a $20,000 one-year Boonshoft Scholars Scholarship.
