Global Studies
Global Studies has given me an immensely global perspective to my biology passion, and how the health and environmental issues affecting our planet need global solutions. It is a major I would unreservedly recommend to anyone wishing to find a way to explore a different discipline in college or looking for a more well-rounded perspective to any other major.

Physics
My research was in the area of neutrino physics, in association with the MicroBooNE collaboration at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. I was interested in coming up with a function to describe the optical response of a photomultiplier tube while submerged in liquid argon. This function would aid in reducing simulation time for MicroBooNE. From this project, I learned how to design and construct a small scale experiment, collect and analyze data, and produce a talk and scientific paper on my findings.

Pre-Med
The Pre-Health Seminar really kickstarted my pre-med experience at Cal Lutheran. Along with AMSA, it connected me to a network of like-minded students and exposed me to what was available. The summer after freshman year, I started my first internship, which I have continued ever since. I have learned and grown so much working within a hospital environment around patients and medical staff.
