Describe your college experience

College has been great in teaching me to be my own person and the best version of myself. Life is complicated but learning time management, boundaries, and knowing how to push yourself to explore the depth and opportunities of the world around you have been the greatest rewards of my college experience

Tip for future students

GPA is important but so are you! Show colleges who you are; what drives you, what breaks you, and what are you going to do to put your mark on the world? VT is defined by “Ut Prosim” let Tech know how you serve your community and the world at large in your own unique way!!

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my Microbiology lab! Everything you learn is so fascinating and the hands on work made me realize research is more than just paperwork!

Career goals

I’m aspiring to work in genetics, either as a researcher or a genetic counselor!

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love reading whether that’s YA novels or the complete works of Nietzsche! Before reading im definitely cooking a Michelin star meal and working up my appetite on the field with friends!
