What is your proudest accomplishment to date? I was very proud to have been able to go to Phoenix in the fall semester to present my research at the National Entomology Conference 2024! Also very proud to have won the Excellence in Research Award at Arcadia’s Honors Convocation this year!

Post-grad plans: Alongside my classes at Arcadia I have been taking an EMT course and after graduation I plan on working as an EMT before I begin to apply to Physicians Assistants programs. I hope to be able to travel abroad at least once before then. I am also aiming to get my first publication within a year of graduation!
