Proudest Moment: becoming a published author on an academic article in the Journal of Endocrinology.
I am an energetic, science-loving, outdoor enthusiast who wishes being in school were a career in itself.
During my four years at UW, I volunteered weekly at Seattle Children's hospital, helped bring healthcare services to under-resourced communities in Latin America through Global Medical Brigades, and conducted research in UW Medicine's Department of Nutrition. I also took classes that focused on everything from biochemistry to Latin American Jazz, drank an obnoxious amount of coffee, and made lifelong friendships.
Next year, I will be working for a Global Health nonprofit organization, and I hope to eventually pursue a career in medicine.
Thank you for the adventure, UW!
