At IUPUI, I have excelled in my courses. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout the first three semesters, and will do my best to continue this for the next three semesters. I have taken many courses to prepare me for medical school and the career path of a physician, which include but are not limited to Principles of Chemistry I and II with Honors Recitation, Experimental Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry I Laboratory, Windows on Science, Analytic Geometry & Calculus I and II, Yoga, Zumba, Psychology, Sociology, and Data Analysis Using Spreadsheets. I have chosen to major in Chemistry because I enjoy understanding how and why processes work. This will prepare me for the MCAT and a career in medicine because I will be able to understand myriad processes within the human body and other living organisms. I will continually seek to answer "why" not just "how." This will benefit my patients because I will strive to provide them with not only the best of care to help them feel better, but also a greater understanding of what is happening and how it is affecting their body. This will be significant to their understanding of research and the advancement of medicine.
In addition to a major in Chemistry I am pursuing a Spanish minor with the hope to one day become a certified Medical Interpretor. The development of oral and written communication skills may be transferred to any field that I choose to pursue. This collaboration will be enhanced by improved communicative and analytical skills. Additionally, the ability to communicate without a translator allows for a stronger connection and trust between physician and patient. Furthermore, I will be able to travel and practice medicine in numerous other Spanish-speaking countries. This will fulfill my desire to travel and provide a beneficial service to others.
I have received numerous awards, honors, and scholarships, recognizing my achievements in academics and service.
I received the Bepko Scholars and Fellows Scholarship from IUPUI. This scholarship is designed for students who demonstrate integrity, dedication, leadership, and commitment to service and covers four years of tuition, books, and fees, two years of housing, and four years of post-undergraduate education ($5,000/year) at an Indiana University institution.
I was honored with placement on the Purdue School of Science Dean's List my first semester at IUPUI and the Scholar's List each subsequent semester.

I received the General Education Core 30 Certificate by taking classes in mathematics, English, foreign language, science, and history. Specifically, I have taken BIOL 101: Plant and Animal Biology, HIMT 110: Medical Terminology, MATH 102: College Algebra, MATH 104: Trigonometry, and MATH 111: Finite Mathematics in order to prepare for degree work in Biochemistry. Additionally, to prepare for a lifetime of using Spanish, as well as to pursue a Spanish minor, I have taken SPAN 101: Spanish Level I, SPAN 103: Spanish Level II, SPAN 119: Conversational Spanish for Technology Supervisors, SPAN 201: Spanish Level III, SPAN 203: Spanish Level IV, SPAN 211: Intermediate Spanish Readings I, and SPAN 212: Intermediate Spanish Readings II. I partook in numerous honors and advanced placement courses, including Biology I Honors, English 9 Honors, World History Honors, Advanced Placement Calculus, and Advanced Placement Biology. Moreover, I have taken classes that will aid in her pursuit of a career in medicine, including PFLW 100: Lifetime Fitness and Wellness, Principles of Biomedical Sciences, Human Body Systems, Chemistry I, and Chemistry II.
