My initial plan coming to UWEC was to become a physician, but after getting involved in the research opportunities this university offered, I realized biomedical research was something I also wanted to pursue. The amazing faculty, research opportunities, leadership roles and mentorship and access to the Mayo Clinic collaboration all played a huge role in my success at UWEC. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
