Why you chose your major
I had a fantastic biology teacher during high school who really lit up my passion for the field. Before I met him, I already had an interest in the subject, but when he became my role model, that solidified my decision.Favorite and/or most impactful course
BIOS 136 Virus Hunting. This was a very hands-on and difficult freshmen class to take but the experiences and skills I got from it were invaluable and are applicable in the future.
Research or internship experience
I did a couple of months of research with one my professors in her lab over the past summer. I worked with bacteriophages and soil bacteria and researched how well varying bacteriophages could infect a range of different hosts.
Other involvement
In addition to being a CAS Ambassador, I am also an Honors Peer Mentor. I mentor incoming honors freshmen and help them adjust to life as college students.
Why you chose Nebraska
I came to UNL because I was drawn to the amazing environment here. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and there are always ways to get involved on campus and to find opportunities.
