During my academic year here at Georgetown University, I hope to make connections with students and professors. I hope to make friendships while enjoying what the campus has to offer and bond with mentors to guide me down the right path to my career. My experience at the NIH this past summer promoted my interest in the research field. My interest centers around child health care and I want to find research that is related to children’s health. I believe I can benefit from the possible internal and external programs available through the school, based on it’s strong reputation.
Please share an interesting fact about yourself.
