My time at Ursinus as a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major with minors in Economics, Neuroscience, and German provided me the space to take a highly interdisciplinary course in undergraduate education. Along with my studies, being deeply involved leading organizations such as STAT (Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow) and Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, while also completing an honors research project, and serving as a senior resident advisor broadened my skills and perspectives and allowed me to build and lean on my community and network to continue to grow.

After graduating in 2022, I began medical school at University of South Florida’s SELECT program; which adds a focus of leadership, health systems and collaborative training on top of medical education. My experience of community building, interdisciplinary thinking, and networking has allowed me to transition to this exciting and challenging chapter of my life. Because I got to experience a tight-knit and deeply enriching environment, I have been able to take advantage of many opportunities medical school has had to offer and will continue to do so throughout the rest of my training.

Favorite Ursinus Memory

My favorite memory of Ursinus is Summer Fellows 2021. I got to advance my honors project farther than I could have ever imagined with Dr Lobo. I also had the chance to live with my best friends in a suite, an opportunity I probably never would have gotten otherwise!
