Plans
After graduating this year, I plan on studying Biochemistry at a four-year university starting this fall. I would like to use the knowledge I gain to build upon my love for the life sciences and give back to the local community by volunteering to improve human health and accessibility to quality care. I am also passionate about environmental sustainability and world affairs, so I look forward to taking part in student organizations and clubs that center around those areas.
