Bio
Time in NE STEM 4U: 4 semesters
Degree: Major in Molecular and Biomedical Biology with minors in Chemistry and Medical Humanities

What benefits and/or professional skills have you acquired in the program?
Throughout NE STEM 4U, I have gained many profession skills by both mentoring in the schools and also by participating in various STEMinars held throughout each semester. Specifically, I feel as if my ability to lead and manage a group has increased along with my communication skills. I have become more comfortable giving a presentation in front of a group of people due to the confidence I have gained throughout NE STEM 4U. All of these skills will enable me to excel in both my graduate program and my long-term job as a genetic counselor someday.
What is a hobby of yours?
When I am not in class or mentoring, I love spending time with my new puppy!
