What experiences were you able to gain in biotechnology during your undergraduate years at Brown?

I worked as a research assistant at 2 Boston Hospitals on Drug studies.

What advice do you have for undergraduates seeking summer positions?

Connections play a big part in undergraduates getting valuable experiences, apply for anything and everything - you never know what will work.

What are your plans for next year?

I’m staying at Brown for a fifth year to do the integrated masters program.

What advice would you give to students applying to graduate schools?

Even if you’re not really interested, pass in the form for Brown’s program (it’s free, doesn’t require GRE’s or recommendations … it basically just asks for your name, date and place of birth, and signature).
