Being in a science field, doing experiments, you’re going to come across a lot of failure, a lot of obstacles, but you do that in the hopes of finding something and creating something that could potentially help millions, billions of people in the world.”

I chose USF because it scored highest on a list of criteria I set for what I was looking for in a biotech program. For example, the school's location being in one of the major biotech hubs of the world and the internship requirement. I felt like it was the perfect environment for me to get out of my comfort zone and grow with the mentorship of amazing professors.
