UPDATE: I am presently continuing school in the 5-year, dual-degree B.A./ M.S. program at Rutgers-Camden. I applied to medical school this past summer and hopefully I will become part of a joint M.D./Ph.D program.
I am also the national premedical trustee-at-large of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA). I oversee the association's budget and coordinate programming for its 7,500 premedical members. Currently I am not studying abroad, but I plan to do so as part of my medical school education. |

| Special Academic Projects |
I am working on stem cell research at Rutgers-Camden. I am trying to identify how a stem cell specific gene (K110) is being regulated in a leech. The regulation of the K110 gene is thought to be responsible for the formation of stem cells. |
| Rutgers Reflects the World |
I like to think of Rutgers as a melting pot of diversity; students from different backgrounds pursuing degrees in many different majors all onone small campus. |

After completing an internship in Cooper Hospital’s ER, I continue to participate in clinical research in their emergency rooms.

| Why Rutgers? |
I chose Rutgers-Camden because of their small class sizes and their name. People all over the country know the Rutgers name; I’m at a small campus which is part of a huge system! The opportunities here are endless with growing masters and doctoral programs. |
