When you find teachers who notice your passion and help you open doors, it’s amazing. It empowers me to continue to advance my education. There were so many people gunning for me and looking for ways to further my advancement. From the very first class I took Fall quarter of 2014 (biology 211), all the professors I have encountered have helped me expand my view of what I am capable of in the STEM fields.
