Summary
I am an undergraduate alumnus who received a bachelorʼs degree on May 7th, 2023 in biology with also a minor in sociology. During my undergraduate studies I was exposed to several lab protocols/procedures in various of my stem classes. I also took priority in exposing myself to the social aspect and taking sociology classes and connecting with society and helping one understand how we all can work and function together. In addition to this, this led me to volunteering in food drives at the university and helping students across campus have access to food and necessities needed for everyday life. As well also take on a role in healthcare in phlebotomy and learn and get to exposed to vein anatomy in different shapes, sizes and structures and make difference in helping lives day to day in blood transfusions, platelet and red blood cell donations.
