Plans
I plan on attending university with a major interest in the biomedical sciences and technologies, with a further goal of entering the research and healthcare fields. I hope to develop the skills that will help me to solve medical problems, develop new and improved biochemical technologies as a researcher, and help those in need as a healthcare professional.
