Summary

As a fourth-year biology major, my passion lies in exploring the life sciences and their practical applications. I am seeking an internship opportunity that allows me to delve deeper into my field, applying knowledge to real-world scenarios. On Handshake, I am eager to find internships that offer hands-on experience in research, laboratory work, or projects related to biology, ecology, or environmental science.

My experiences and skills encompass a strong academic foundation in biological principles, in tandem with hands-on laboratory techniques acquired through coursework and research projects.

Additionally, I possess strong critical thinking skills, an ability to work collaboratively in a team, and effective communication abilities honed through presentations and scientific writing. I am driven to contribute meaningfully to an internship where I can apply and further enhance these skills in a practical setting while making a impact in the field of biology.
