Reintroducing myself...
For the billionth time, because every time I say I want to be more active, I never post again.
Hey guys! My name is Brooke and here are some facts about me!
- I’m a premed student applying next spring! My MCAT retake is in January.
- I am a double major working on two bachelors. One in biomedical sciences and the other in biochemistry. Picking up a second major was very last minute after I started doing research. I fell in love with chemistry but only have five classes left for my biology degree so I didn’t want to waste the past three years.
- As previously mentioned, I do research in a biochemistry lab with a heavy emphasis on organic chemistry. Our lab is currently working on topical preventatives for HIV and COVID. I’ll be presenting my research for the first time this fall, as well as over winter break, next summer (Paris, who?), and next fall. I’m so excited to travel with my lab group as they are some of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. I’ve received one grant this summer and I’m hoping to receive one for this semester as well.
- I participate in a program that has a student lead group problem solving in hard STEM classes. I currently facilitate for first semester organic chemistry.
- Finally, I volunteer at a local blood bank and at a hospice care center.
I really will try to be active this time lol. I always say this and have been apart of this community for years but it just... never happens 🤷🏻♀️
anyways, would y’all wanna see my notion?
