Describe your college experience
At first, I struggled with how large the campus was and the transition to a college curriculum surrounded by very intelligent people. However, I quickly found some of my best friends and they made our campus seem so much smaller as they are my support system here. Everyone is very encouraging and tries to build each other up to be the best they can be!
Favorite class
My favorite class was neurodevelopmental disorders because it is the exact field I hope to go into one day, so it was very interesting being able to learn about the science behind these disorders.
Career goals
I will be taking a gap year and then applying to medical school.
Ideal way to spend a free night
A free weeknight, I often will bake with my roommates, have a game night, or watch a good movie. A free weekend, I will often hang out with friends on a night out.
