I am a senior in the undergraduate DPD program in nutrition and dietetics at the University of New Mexico. With a solid academic background and six years of experience in a biotech lab researching Type 1 Diabetes, I have developed a deep understanding of healthcare's scientific and practical aspects. While in the lab, I worked closely with patients, developed research protocols, and published papers based on our findings. I'm actively involved in the University of New Mexico academic community. I serve as the President-Elect of Kappa Omicron Nu, an Honor Society, and I am pursuing the IPE Honors Certificate. Additionally, I work as a peer learning facilitator and an online learning assistant, helping students achieve their academic goals
