Major: Microbiology

I am a hardworking, caring student who came to UW from Massachusetts to pursue my interest in microbiology. Since starting UW, I have learned more than I imagined, and have had countless invaluable educational opportunities. My dedication to life-long learning drives me to continue to grow my study, time management, and test taking skills for success. I am passionate about creating personalized plans for academic success that also emphasize social and emotional well-being, and helping students navigate the vast resources at UW.

After my time at UW, I plan to pursue an ABSN and eventually a DNP to become a Certified Nurse Midwife.

In Winter 2024, I had a flare up of my chronic illness that caused me to be in the emergency room and eventually miss so much school that I had fallen significantly behind in my classes. In the 6th week of an 18-credit quarter, I came to the realization that if I tried to catch up in every class, I would end all of them with grades I would not have been happy with, and likely would not have been able to allow my body to properly recover. I made the difficult decision to drop one of my classes, taking a registrar drop, and focus on the other classes that I believed I could catch up in. Thanks to that decision, I was able to finish my classes with good scores, and heal. This situation was an important reminder that balance is key in undergrad and reminded me of my resilience, both as a student and as a person.
