Proudest Moment: Finally being able to travel and study abroad to Costa Rica! It was an amazing country (with such good coffee) and I made many new friends along the way.
knigheth000@gmail.comHi, my name is Ethan Knight! I graduating with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Public Health-Global Health, with College Honors in the latter. Throughout my time at UW, I have been blessed with the different friends, mentors, coworkers, and peers that I have met!
While I first arrived at UW a tad bit apprehensive and introverted, it was the small communities that I was able to find that brought me out of my shell. These communities - honors chemistry and Neuroscience - allowed me to grow and learn, both as a student and as a person, and I would not be who I am today without them. Also, my opportunity to study abroad in Costa Rica allowed me to study something outside of my major, as well as make some new friends and mentors!
In addition, UW has also given me the opportunity to participate as a student researcher in the Dichek Lab. My time in the Dichek Lab has been incredibly formative and has solidified my desire to continue to engage in clinically important research. Combined with the lessons of my Public Health-Global Health major, I have gotten an expansive overview of medicine and health, from a single gene to communities-at-large.
I would like to thank all of my friends, family, and mentors for my UW experience (shout out to the Neuroganglia and Harvard House). Without you all, my experience would have been indescribably lacking!
