There is always something going on and you’ll never know who you’ll run into walking around.

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

I’m proud that I can balance both a humanities and STEM major at the same time! Both are very rigorous with exams or long research essays.
What are you looking forward to about being a peer leader this semester?
Helping other transfer students. Transferring can be so isolating and challenging so I hope to make it easier for other students using my own experience.
What sparked your interest in STEM?
When I was young, my grandpa got a knee replacement, and I have been amazed by STEM and the medical field since then.
What is your vision for life after graduation?
Hopefully medical school!
