Why you chose your major
I've always loved humans and asking questions- so the combination of my majors/minor set me up for success to ask questions and find answer to understand the human body better. 

Favorite and/or most impactful course
Organic Chemistry! It was in this class where I learned how to actually study and gained the confidence to ask questions to the TAs/Professors/Students. This class really challenged me to learn a lot and go out of my comfort zone. 

Research or internship experience
I worked in research for 3.5 years (since I was a freshman). Over the course of that time I've worked with both yeast and algae in 3 separate labs. I have one publication in the works, won 1 award for my research,  and have made many friends (both near and far) along the way!

Other involvement
NHRI and research (currently) Daily Nebraskan, ballroom dancing club, pre-genetic counseling club (previously)

Why you chose Nebraska
It was the best place for me to go for an education while still receiving support.
