Undergraduate Research Assistant
I entered undergraduate research over the summer through SURF because I wanted to see if I'd enjoy being a researcher and to get research experience to make entering research easier. I aim to get involved in immunological research after graduating and help create vaccines for antibiotic resistant bacteria. In my free time I make art, play video games and exercise.
