Favorite Quote: "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss

Favorite thing to do on the weekend: Go to a movie, hang out with friends, and recently MCAT prep!

Advice for students considering a career in Health Sciences: Do every opportunity possible; apply and make time for as many experiences as you can. Each and every one of them will allow you to make connections and determine your correct career path.

Something I wish I had known as a freshman: To learn how to quickly become adjusted to doing homework/studying/reviewing a little each night. If you implement this study pattern early, it will be easier to get through your sophomore year and help when you are studying for the MCAT or other professional school tests. (Trust me!)

A tip for in-class group work: Get up and interact with your group/table mates. I did not do this my freshman year and suddenly started to my sophomore year during anatomy and physiology. I can tell you that it not only improved my grades, but also helped me become recognized by the professors.

Career Interest(s): Pediatric/Neonatal Surgeon
