How’d you choose your major/minor?
I chose a biology major because I have always been very passionate about science and how it relates to humans, plants, and animals. I added a chemistry minor because I loved the chemistry courses I took at U of A and it is applicable to the career field of forensic science that I want to pursue. I also added an environmental science minor because I love the outdoors and I am interested in learning how to better take care of our environment.
What’s your favorite spot on campus?
My favorite spot on campus is the Science and Engineering Library. This is my favorite spot to relax inbetween classes or to study for a few hours. There are some great study spots and it is located right next to all of my classes.
What has been the highlight of your college career thus far?
My college highlight has been making great friends to study with and to go on adventures with. Most of my favorite memories have been exploring Tucson's food and nature scene.
