About

I am a graduate of Eureka College, with degrees in Biology and Chemistry, and a minor in Music. I am passionate about the sciences, helping people, and music; and I would really love a career where I make the world a better place using some or all of my many talents. Now that I've finally graduated, it's time to find an adult job or at least volunteer experience that might help me qualify for an adult job. My favorite classes in college were Microbiology, Genetics, Organic Chemistry, Quantitative Analysis (Analytical Chemistry), Anatomy and Physiology, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, Evolutionary Analysis, and Biochemistry. With the exception of the last two, they were all all laboratory courses, which leads me to believe I would be happiest with a career in laboratory science.
