I am a senior at Louisiana State University hoping to eventually enter the medical field. My fields of interest include infectious disease and epidemiology. I will hopefully pursue a graduate degree in Public Health or Pathobiological Sciences. My other academic interests include the Latin language, classical philosophy, and classical religion. I also have a healthy interest in biochemistry and other molecular sciences. I have participated in a wide range of sports from baseball to competitive cheerleading. I am a former LSU cheerleader.
AutoBio
editI was born on K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base in Marquette County, Michigan. I lived there for a couple of years with my father, who was a member of the Air Force, my mother, and my younger brother. We traveled with the Air Force to several states including California, Arizona, and eventually settled in Bossier City, Louisiana. We resided on Barksdale Air Force Base for several years while my mother finished nursing school and my father worked. We eventually moved, my brother and I grew up, and, once I finished high school, I moved to Baton Rouge. I currently reside in Baton Rouge while I complete the coursework for my B.S. in Microbiology. I plan to move back to Bossier City and hopefully start a career and a family while continuing my education.
