Summary

What are your plans after graduating?

After graduation, I plan to take a gap year and focus on researching, substitute teaching, and traveling. I also plan on applying for graduate school for a master's degree and eventually a Ph.D. in Neuroscience.

What is the most important piece of advice you’d give to an incoming college freshman?

Take time for yourself. College can be a rough time and it's important to find a balance between school and your personal life. Set aside time to do activities that you enjoy! Start a new art project, go laser-tagging with your friends, have a movie night, etc.

Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?

In 15 years, I see myself as a professor with at least a couple of research publications under my belt. I also hope to have a large array of animations made to help future students through their tough biology classes and to make academic resources more accessible to a wider demographic of people.
