Emily St. Antoine

I am currently a Microbiology student at The University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ. I am also minoring in Special Education and Rehabilitation, personally focusing on becoming fluent in American Sign Language. I am studying to become a Pathologist's Assistant. I was born in Clear Lake, TX but was raised in Phoenix, AZ since the age of two. Both of my parents worked in the Health Care my whole life. All throughout my childhood our family dinners consisted of medical discussions, exposing me to medicine at a very young age. For the ten years of my life leading up to college I was a swimmer for both my club team (Sun Devil Aquatics) and my Varsity high school team (Desert Vista High School). During my senior year of high school I was a Teacher's Assistant for the nurse. Helping the nurse in an actual workplace taught me a lot by doing hands-on activities. I was also a member of the Ahwatukee Foothills Chapter of National Charity League for four years, and in my last year I held the position of Vice President. Since becoming a student at The University of Arizona I have joined many clubs and organizations including Kappa Alpha Theta, Golden Key International Honour Society, Gamma Beta Phi Society, Pre-Pharmacy Club, and Microbiology Club. I was also on the Dean's List for the College of Science during 2011-2012. One day I hope to become a Pathologist's Assistant and possibly an interpreter of American Sign Language.
