Background[edit]

ADRUCK22 (talk) 03:33, 21 April 2016 (UTC) I am a Junior studying Physiological Sciences at Marquette University. My ultimate goal is to become a physician, and specialize in either cardiology, ophthalmology, or nephrology. I am passionate about science, research, language, and service. My interest in science and research go hand and hand. I have been fortunate to have been able to work alongside one of my professors to study how mutations in genes that code for actin affect prion formation in cells. I believe research has improved my ability to search for solutions, in addition to rekindling my love for biology. My research experience showed how much we have yet to learn, therefore I am very curious as to what the future holds for the field of neurobiology. In addition to the sciences, I am also passionate about learning foreign languages. I am pursuing Spanish as a minor, and traveled to Spain through Marquette's Summer Study Abroad program. Finally, I believe service has had a large impact on my Marquette experience, thus it has become an essential part of who I am.

Interests[edit]

Science and Research[edit]

I studied prion formation in yeast cells and observed how mutated forms of actin effected the appearance of rings--the precursor indicating prion development.

Language[edit]

View inside the La Alhambra in Granada, Spain

I remember taking a basic Spanish class in preschool, and since then I have been dedicated to learning and understanding Spanish and the Spanish culture. This past summer, I had the opportunity to travel to Spain and study at the Universidad de Complutense in Madrid. One of my favorite places that I traveled to was Granada, as it had an amazing mix of Muslim and Christian culture.

Service[edit]

Below is a list of the different types of service that I have been involved in while at Marquette

Emergency Department Volunteer
Mardi Gras Service Trip
Service Learning at Marquette Dental Clinic South
Site volunteer around Milwaukee

Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.
