Embedded Files
Past: My curiosity and desire to learn has always been with me. I have been taking electronics apart since I was old enough to know what a screwdriver was. Starting at a young age I had the incredible opportunity to travel to South Africa to visit family. Getting to experience traveling to another continent and my many interactions has broadened my perspective of how diverse humans and their cultures are from one place to another. My years at university have not only solidified my love for both science and human interaction, they have caused this love to grow exponentially. University was a bumpy road full of challenges and unexpected events, giving only two real options; stall and let the challenges beat you or learn to embrace the unexpected. These struggles taught me the value of hard work and productive struggles, as I am finding myself more robust and ready for the curve balls that are thrown at me.

No Rhinoceros' were harmed in this image, me and my family got to participate in chipping the horn of the Rhino which is to protect them against poachers.
Present: Chemistry was not my initial degree path when I enrolled in university. Originally I chose biology. During high school I had a very hands-on internship at a small town veterinarian clinic and I felt this was the right degree for my ambitions of being a veterinarian. However, my plans quickly changed after a single semester of general chemistry. I found that university provides an opportunity to freely explore all avenues of interest and mine moved beyond biology. I discovered that chemistry provided explanations to the universe we live in, the ultimate curiosity, and I was hooked. Currently I am only a few weeks away from being the proud holder of a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry. I credit my current self to the culmination of my experiences, interactions and education. My work ethic is not limited to school as I hold high standards in all aspects of my life. I think very analytically, adapt well to changing circumstances and can apply my training and knowledge in seeking out answers.
Future: I feel we are all lifelong students that should be continually striving to expand our knowledge, experiences and skills. My goal is to attend graduate school and obtain a PhD in biochemistry or nuclear chemistry. I also want to further develop my skills and experiences by traveling and trying new things. Science is an endless field of curiosity for me so naturally I gravitate toward the studies of the universe, and with my unique experiences overseas, I have learned the importance of building bonds and connections with my fellow human beings, in order to reflect, learn and build upon.
