About

Welcome to my website.

I'm a fourth-year biochemistry student at the University of Wisconsin. I've also studied Spanish, Russian and computer science and am a member of the Wisconsin International Scholars program.

While I know I would be happy in many life paths such as business, web development or journalism, my longest held goal has been to pursue a career in medicine, especially in public health. Growing up, I had at various times wanted to become a lawyer or run businesses. I’m also interested in the government, specifically in the judicial system and law enforcement. I want to bring together all those interests and study forensic pathology and become a medical examiner.

The next step is getting into medical school, which will be a challenge given my grades. Working more than full time throughout college has not helped my GPA, though I know I've learned so much more from my extracurricular activities than I could ever have learned from a class!
