About

I was raised in Wauconda, Illinois and graduated from Wauconda High School in 2017. I am currently in the process of receiving my Associates in Science degree at the College of Lake County located in Grayslake, Illinois. My favorite subject is Chemistry and ever since I was young I had a passion for science. It wasn’t long ago when I can recall my senior year of high school. I was in STEM club and had the opportunity to attend Camp Cardiac. This camp served as a week long event for students who were interested in pursuing a career within the medical field. With heavy concentration on education and real-life experience, I was able to learn directly from highly skilled medical professionals.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan on pursuing my career as a Pharmacist. Pharmacists are not only highly qualified health professionals, but they are especially focused on delivering many scientific breakthroughs that will result in more effective medicines.

Graduate school interests

I have applied to Pharmacy school. Pharmacy school will not only prepare me for a career in medicine, but it will also build my enthusiasm towards research, gathering data, and discovering new treatments. With my knowledge in both Chemistry and Biology, I really look forward to learning new techniques as well as building a relationship with my professors. A degree in pharmacy will allow me to be more collaborative, display leadership, and enhance a strong relationship with the patient.

Outside the classroom

Basketball has always been my favorite sport. I enjoy playing intramural basketball with my friends.
