Hello, my name is Michelle and I am a student at UGA currently studying biological engineering on the pre-med track. My main passions are to eventually help people in different communities get access to quality healthcare! On my free time I like to hit up Ramsey too work out and explore Athens with my friends! I'd like to say I know the best hang out spots!

Describe your college experience

College was a big change in my life, but I do not regret it. I loved most of my classes and I have met some amazing people on campus. I have been exposed to a lot of different cultures, programs, and opportunities through various events. Georgia does a great job of balancing work and play!

Tip for future students

Do not come with a mindset that you are alone in this experience and you have to figure it all out by yourself. Your professors, peers, and UGA do a very great job of providing all the resources you could possibly need if you ask for help!

Favorite class

My favorite class has been engineering computations because it was just so fun to be able to learn how to use matlab and use it to create our own projects.

Career goals

I hope to apply to med school and get into a md​/​phd or work in a research lab to create affordable medical devices!

Ideal way to spend a free night

When I have a free night I like to hang out with my friends and explore Athens as it has a lot of niche events or places!

High school or secondary school

Tucker High School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus has to be the North Lawn because it is very peaceful and it is a great way to relax after class or just hanging out with friends!
