Why did you choose Health Science at Mizzou?

I chose Mizzou and the College of Health Sciences because of all the opportunities Mizzou has to offer. Since Mizzou is an R1 research university, there are tons of great undergraduate and graduate programs, which means students can get real, in-demand experience that actually matters after graduation. It felt like a place where I could grow and get the kind of hands-on learning I was looking for.

How has your time at Mizzou shaped who you are today?

Mizzou has pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve always loved learning, and Mizzou constantly challenged me to expand the way I think. With so many different majors and people on campus, I’ve been able to meet and learn from people I never would have crossed paths with otherwise. That mix of experiences and perspectives has helped me become a more well-rounded person overall.

Tell us more about how you’ve gotten hands-on experience!

My favorite experience I have had at Mizzou is working in an immunology lab on campus. I have learned so much so fast, all while getting excellent experience in a laboratory setting. From playing with our pigs to witnessing awesome immunological phenomena, I have loved every moment!
