Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
The work I've done has prepared me for the demands I face in pursuing medical school by allowing me the opportunity to develop the skills to interpret data, analyze information, and drive the intellectual process.

French
The summer before my junior year at Cal Lutheran, I took French classes for two months in northwestern France. I returned to southern France for the fall semester and continued my French courses in Aix-en-Provence. The idea of adding a language as a second major can be daunting to people, but without my French major I would've never had the chance to live abroad and communicate with people from around the world!

Sociology
With a diverse classroom, not only are various perspectives shared, but my hope is that through this sharing, students can begin to recognize where they fit within the spectrum of advantages and disadvantages and use this lens to create a more equal society.
