Meet Madison Biser - our first NAF Intern

Hello! My name is Madison Biser, and I am a junior at JBHS. I’m a part of the Medical Academy and currently serve as the NAF Intern for the 2024-2025 school year. My primary goals this year are to raise awareness among students and community members about the incredible opportunities NAF offers, as well as helping to recruit more students into the program. On a day to day basis I collaborate with students and staff members to promote NAF events, assist in managing the NAF Closet to provide professional attire for students, help run the NAF Instagram Page, and work closely with the NAF Student Board on various projects. I am excited to continue to help NAF grow and to encourage students to take advantage of everything the program has to offer!
