Teacher who has altered my life: My pharmacology professor, Dr.Iñiguez-Lluhí, who emphasized the importance of learning above all. He taught me how biochemistry gives us an understanding of what areas to target when designing a drug or treatment plan.
In my time off, I enjoy: Soulcycle with friends, coffee shops, ice hockey, and FaceTiming various family members.
What major, other than your own, would you enjoy? If I didn’t pursue a Biomolecular Science major, I think I would like to pursue a Spanish major or minor and spend a semester abroad.
