Where I am now:
I am currently still working at the lab that I entered the program with as I begin to complete my graduate school application for genetic counseling. Anticipated graduation date is May of 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences and Entomology. Nothing that I have been able to accomplish would be possible without the EFAS program and all the opportunities that it has provided me. This program allowed me to establish my basis in research in both technique with the experiment and communication of results. I am eternally grateful for the experiences I have gained as this has led me to have great additions towards my career goals.
