My Journey with the Physiology and Medical Sciences Program
Through the Physiology and Medical Sciences program I have had so many opportunities for growth and development not only in the academic setting but socially as well. This program has helped me explore my interest in the scientific community, specifically with the human anatomy and the many processes involved with it. The faculty involved with this program are very helpful and engaging, making my journey through college very enjoyable.
Academic & Career Goals
My career goals involve going to medical school and eventually becoming a trauma surgeon. While working to achieve that the academic goals I have in mind would be to excel in all of my classes as well as establish good relations with my peers and professors.
On- and Off-Campus Involvement
I work as an EMT for the Arizona Department of Corrections, aiding the underserved population of inmates. I also participate in research for Dr. Wertheim at the Keating Bio Research lab, specifically with 3D printing artificial vasculature and working on identifying the pathways involved with the disease FSGS.
Ask Me About
I love my job as an EMT for the AZDOC and I love talking to people interested in emergency medicine and all that it encompasses. Feel free to ask me about the steps into becoming an EMT and the responsibilities associated with it in a healthcare setting.
