I'm happy that I was able to be part of the Interdisciplinary Honors community at UW while being afforded the flexibility to pursue both of my passions: Art History and pre-medicine. I have been taught by great professors in both areas who helped me to discover art from 17,000 years ago to today, to look from the tiniest parts of human biology and chemistry to our bodies and societies as a whole.
I'm also happy to say that I will be continuing my education at UW School of Medicine entering Fall 2018.
