Throughout this academic journey, gained valuable experience in a cardiovascular on campus internship. Also participated in an ecological research project testing the PH of freshwater lakes in AZ. I also have done volunteer work at Wildlife World Zoo in Phoenix which provided me a hands-on experience in caring for marine aquatic animals.
