  • Senior, Biological Sciences with a Pre-Medicine track

During my senior year of high school I was still not sure of what path I wanted to pursue in the future. All I knew is that I wanted to go to a field that would have a lasting impact on people's lives. That's what drew me into the Pre Medicine Major at UWM. Once I decided that I wanted to become a doctor I knew that I was going to have to work hard. The classes at UWM not only pushed me to become a better student but also gave me so much valuable information I know will come in use. Throughout this time I have been enhancing my knowledge of the medical field by working as a volunteer at Aurora St. Luke's and studying various texts.

My time as an undergraduate student has done much to prepare me for medical school and I hope to continue working as hard in the future.
