Describe your college experience
My transition to BYU has been a rewarding experience that has challenged me academically, personally, and spiritually. Adjusting to the pace and expectations of college has helped me become more independent, disciplined, and intentional with how I manage my time and responsibilities. My experiences in classes, work, and relationships have helped me better understand my strengths, interests, and the direction I want to take in the future. BYU has also given me opportunities to grow spiritually and strengthen my relationship with Jesus Christ while being surrounded by people who encourage me to become a better person. Overall, my time at BYU so far has involved both challenges and growth, and I am grateful for the experiences that have shaped who I am and who I hope to become.
Tip for future students
Set time aside to work toward your next exam every day! Even if it is short.
Favorite class
Anatomy, because it offers a hands-on experience that makes learning unforgettable.
Career goals
My career goal is to pursue a career in medicine where I can combine my interest in science with my desire to serve and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I hope to develop the knowledge, skills, and character necessary to become a compassionate and capable physician who can positively impact my patients and community.
