About
Graduated from Iowa State University in 2019 with a bachelor's in Biology. After graduation I had contracted Lyme disease among other co-infections that had me bedridden for the past 5 years. I have since treated the Lyme and now finally feel comfortable moving into work again and hope to finally make it back to Med school.
