Summary
I currently study biomedical sciences at The University of New England, where I have learned proper laboratory techniques, the human body and how it works, and many more scientific topics, such as chemistry, biology, philology, pathology, and anatomy. This has sparked my interest in pharmacy, and in the future I am looking to pursue a Doctorate of Pharmacy. On campus, I am currently the president of Best Buddies International club, and treasurer of Gardening club.
I'd consider myself a leader, making calculated moves to ensure the safe and timely completion of projects, while adapting to any given circumstances, both in a professional and personal setting. Whether its hiking, skiing, rock climbing, or working, I love to challenge myself. In the past I started and successfully ran my own lawn and outdoor work service company for over 5 years, which is now in the hands of my brother. I've taught outdoor survival skills to campers at Ndakinna Education Center summer camp for over 5 years, as well as working on Skidmore college's grounds crew for a summer.
