I graduated from Lakewood High School in 2015. In school, I learned that I am very analytical and logical. I also like to think things through. During my senior year, I took Biotechnology, a course similar to an AP Biology class. This class was some of the most fun I had throughout my high school experience. I was fascinated by the material we were learning and knew from there that I wanted to study viruses or immunology. At The Ohio State University, I intend to get a B.S. in biochemistry and then go to graduate school to receive a Ph.D. in virology or something similar. While at Ohio State, I would love to get involved with undergraduate research in biochemistry and work on a project that has an end goal related to studying and curing diseases.
