How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson has prepared me for life after graduation by requiring me to engage in courses outside of my discipline of biology. I became incredibly interested in anthropology after taking a required U.S. Diversity course. By engaging in the study of anthropology alongside my biology degree, I was able to view health and healing from a much wider lens and step away from our traditional Western view of healthcare. I have been able to learn about so many countries and cultures that will forever enhance my education and all future endeavors, especially in the healthcare field.

How has Dickinson prepared you for life after graduation?
Dickinson has allowed me to do things that I would have never thought I would be able to do. I came to Dickinson as a shy, not very confident person. I am now leaving Dickinson having been involved in many different leadership roles, presenting my research and having made connections that I know I can come back to if I ever need help in any way. I think that I have gotten a good background in topics that I hope to learn more about during my master's and other future endeavors.
Internship Experience
