Annika Schimmack is a pre-Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound major from Eagle River, Alaska. After graduation, she hopes to work as an ultrasound technician either in a hospital environment or a clinic. 

“I knew I wanted to choose a rewarding career where I could help people and brighten their days during some of their toughest moments,” she says. “Healthcare fulfills these desires.”

What is your best advice for incoming Mizzou CHS students?

Definitely to get involved! Mizzou is a large school, but by getting involved you can make it feel much smaller and more like a tight-knit community. 

Why should students choose Mizzou? 

Students should choose Mizzou because it offers incredible academic opportunities while providing a fun college town experience. 

What is your favorite Mizzou memory?

My favorite Mizzou memory is rushing the field after the football game where we beat K-State off a record-breaking field goal. 

What is your favorite coffee spot in Columbia?

My favorite coffee spot in Columbia is Acola Coffee Company, I love to meet up with friends and study there.
