Sophia - Passionate, Driven, Biochemistry UM Pre-med Student
Hi! I’m a sophomore at the University of Miami majoring in Biochemistry and Microbiology on the pre-med track. I’m a very social and involved student who truly loves being part of the UM community. I’m driven and hardworking, but I also believe in maintaining a healthy balance. Along with staying focused academically and getting involved on campus, I always make time to spend with friends, enjoy college life, and make the most of my experience. I've also made it a point to explore Miami as a whole so I would definitely say I am well versed as a student and a new Coral Gables community member.
