Summary
I'm currently a student at ASU earning my bachelors in Biological Sciences with a focus on Biomedical Sciences. I have focused my recent career goals on obtaining laboratory experience. My goal is to enter the research field once I graduate. I plan on earning my masters along side my bachelors. Everyday I continue to learn more about the field I love and I hope to never stop growing within it.
