Did you ever change your major? I changed from biology to dental hygiene to exercise science.
Work or involvement experience while at IUPUI: I served as a HOSTS (Helping One Student To Succeed) mentor.
Advice to students: Do not look at other people's journey and compare them to yours. You are your own unique person, and your path is unique.
Brief bio: I am from Merrillville, Indiana. After college, I plan to take a year off school to travel and to do service in the community. After traveling, I will apply to medical school. I would love to be a pediatrician and run a low-cost clinic for underprivileged kids and their parents. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, hanging out with my friends, and taking walks.
