HOLY CROSS COLLEGE
Bachelor of Science, Biology | May 2024
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Holy Cross College, where I explored the study of life from the cellular level to the global biosphere. Rooted in a Catholic liberal arts education, the program emphasized evolutionary biology as a framework for understanding the diversity and interconnectedness of living systems. I tailored my coursework to align with both scientific and professional goals, taking classes in anatomy, ecology, and physiology. In addition to my major, I pursued minors in Business, Public Health, and Environmental Science, which allowed me to take an interdisciplinary approach to science and deepen my understanding of health, sustainability, and organizational systems.
