About
Highly organized, adaptable, and motivated final year undergraduate biological sciences student with multiple experiences in organic chemistry and biology, zoology, pharmacology and physiology undergraduate lab courses. Sufficiently experienced in the fundamental nature of research and academia, while well-versed in retail and sports officiating. Seeking continuous discovery of the nature of research and to explore career interests/directions.
I hope to learn the variety of disciplines involved with research from graduate students and professors, as well as further build my academic skills as I progress throughout my career. In the long term, I wish to primarily pursue professional programs such as pharmacology or medicine or to pursue graduate studies to possibly enter the pharmaceutical industry.
