What are you most excited about for your Next Port?

I’m excited to really engulf myself in a setting I’ll be devoting my whole life to, and to build a foundation for my eventual career path. I knew what I wanted to do coming into undergrad so it’s been a big buildup of discovering new things and being part of experiences that have helped get me here; the process had me so stressed and filled with doubt at times, so it’s excited for me to see everything fall into place. 

What is your favorite memory from UP?

My favorite memory from UP has been the extracurriculars I was able to involve myself in. From intramural sports to involvement in several clubs or even working as an assistant in the bio department, I was able to meet many amazing individuals I otherwise wouldn’t have and it has certainly opened up several opportunities for me along the way.

Was there a faculty or staff member, or department that specially helped you land your Next Port?
