Favorite WSU experience

Attending WSU was the best decision I ever made. Thanks to WSU I have been published in scientific journals, won national awards, presented in professional conferences, and worked for a wide range of leading laboratories, including M3 Biotechnology (Pullman), the Allen Institute (Seattle), and even the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, England).

Beyond the opportunities WSU provided, I met the love of my life in Pullman, made lifelong friends, and became a part of the worldwide crimson and gray community. It is incredible how much WSU improved my life in only four years. Of all my achievements as an undergraduate, I feel the most pride in saying “I am a Coug!”

Future plans

I hope to pursue an MD/Ph.D. at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine at WSU Spokane.
