How’d you choose your major/minor?
I chose my combination of majors and minors because I would like to pursue forensic science after I graduate. I have always been fascinated by DNA analysis, and how that can lead scientists to solve cold cases. Even though it is not directly medicine, this career field stills helps people, all while working to solve mysteries!
What’s your favorite spot on campus?
My favorite spot on campus is the Chemistry Building. It is newly renovated with various smaller study areas, so it is a good place to camp out when I need to get a lot of work done!
What has been the highlight of your college career thus far?
Thus far, the highlight of my college experience has been studying abroad in Italy and Ireland. The summer after my freshman year, I was lucky enough to travel all over these two countries, exploring their rich histories, all while earning Honors General Education credit. This experience not only led me to form relationships with people of which I now call my best friends, but also opened my eyes to the way of life of other cultures. Out of all of my adventures abroad, I would have to say watching the sun set while floating in the middle of the Ligurian Sea was my favorite!
