After my lab experience at MHC, I completed a Ph.D. in Theoretical Computational Chemistry and work at ACS Nano and Nano Letters.
The background that I obtained with my biochemistry major and chemistry research at Mount Holyoke has enabled my success at Stanford. Having already done research at Mount Holyoke, I was prepared to read scientific literature, think critically, and work independently.
I love practicing medicine and feel confident in my skills because of the solid science education and Chemistry research experiences I received when I was an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke College.
I learned to conduct independent research, program algorithms, and present my ideas effectively to multiple audiences.
My perseverance and the guidance I received at Mount Holyoke allowed me to make my vision of serving tribal communities a reality.
I will continue to pursue my passion in law school to fight against corruption, especially in international law.
“When I applied to Columbia, they exempted me from writing their MA essay on the basis of my Mount Holyoke thesis.”
