Why I Choose Colby: I choose Colby for the close relationships you can form with professors and the opportunity to explore Maine.

Internship/Work Experience: I've interned at Liao Laboratories and studied cleft palate formation using zebrafish models. I've also worked with AMIGOS de las Americas for the past few summers. AMIGOS is an organization focused on creating cultural exchange and empowering youth to become a catalyst for positive change in Latin America. On Campus, I work as an Economics TA, volunteer at the Mid Maine Homeless Shelter through Lives of Purpose, and serve on the Student Advisory Board for Colby Cares About Kids. 
 
Major: Economics
 
Favorite Place on Campus: The Spa
 
Most Memorable Team Experience: We took dance classes to improve body awareness and flexibility and at the end of the month we had a dance competition to showcase our work.
 
Plans After Colby: I plan on going to medical school after Colby and ultimate hope to become a pediatric surgeon.
