Why did you choose the College of Health Sciences at Marquette? They were very active in activities at my high school. I was involved in a program called SMART Team where we wrote a college level abstract and scientific poster, and 3-D modeled a protein structure after research a professor at Marquette was doing. Through this program I got to see the campus and meet some of the amazing professors at Marquette!

How did you pick your major/program? I researched many different career paths in high school and felt the physician assistant career was the most suitable for me. I chose my major because it allows me to many interesting classes that other schools don't offer if you major in biology or chemistry with a pre-pa path. Also, the professors in this major are some of the kindest, smartest, and hardworking people I've ever met and make hard classes manageable with their help.

What is your favorite spot on campus? My favorite spot on campus is the 4th floor of Cudahy. It is one of the best hidey holes to study in at Marquette because there are so many windows and it is so quiet, but only a few people study there.
