What sparked your interest in STEM?
I’ve been interested in science since the day I could talk. I would always ask my parents to get me science experiment kits from Walmart every time we’d go grocery shopping, and science and the fields of STEM have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I also knew I wanted to pursue something in the medical field, and wanted to have a career that made a difference!
What is your vision for life after graduation?
My vision for life after graduation is to go to medical school on a pediatrician track, as I aspire to become a pediatrician when I grow up. If I don’t go to medical school after graduation, I plan to do some traveling and see the world!
