Bio

I am originally from the town of Balsam Lake, WI and I grew up with four siblings. I have always wanted to understand why things are the way they are, which definitely influenced my fascination with Biology! Besides my classwork, I have a few hobbies in my life. I play clarinet, guitar, and piano which take up a lot of my free time - I'm even a member of the marching band at my college! I am also a lifeguard in the summers, and I am a certified Lifeguard Instructor through the Red Cross.

Education

I started at UW-Eau Claire in September 2019, and I plan to graduate in May of 2024. I am a Biology major, with minors in Psychology and Music. During my time here, I joined the University Honors program, the Ronald E. McNair program, and I am a Supplemental Instruction Leader for the university. After completing my Bachelor's degree, I eventually want to earn a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology or Developmental Biology.
