Natalia Rojas

The career I am planning to pursue is in the STEM related field such as biomedical engineering, environmental science, or aspects of food and nutrition. I am open to become any kind of professional in the STEM field because of my interest in different forms of science and math such as pharmaceutical, geneticist, public health, part of a non-profit organization and research inclined parts of medicine. The reason for taking this STEM inclined path is due to coming from an immigrant family and seeing the struggles they have overcome and still being successful inspired me to take on an interest of mine and pursue it as my future career.

During the years of my childhood I have always had an influence in the artistic things life has to provide. For instance, the immersion of cultural music and traditional folklore music from my Colombian culture has played a key role in my make up and has become a part of myself that I truly enjoy. Furthermore along these lines, my culture has as well taught me how to form and mold pottery through the art of ceramics and when dry to paint or imprint different forms of nature and people.
