Hello,
I would like to make clear that as a student I am not solely applying for paid employment, but
rather would much more appreciate an opportunity to give back to my community through
volunteering while obtaining much needed experience to affirm my focus in the neurosciences.
I hope you find all to your pleasing,
Elias Benjelloun
