My UHP experience in five words

Amazing, enlightening, enjoyable, engaging, enriching

Why UHP is for me

UHP is for me because it has opened doors to opportunities that I did not even know existed. There are so many options for experiences and seminars to further my education, and also the chance to broaden it with the many diverse seminars.

An honors experience I'll never forget

My favorite honors experience so far has been my self-design. It is a summer cancer research internship. I have gotten to learn so much in just the short time that I have been here and enjoy being in the lab and using what I have learned in classes and labs on campus to apply it to the work here.

Advice for anyone interested in UHP

Be open to choosing experiences or seminars that you would not normally pick first. There are so many different topics that these opportunities cover that could be beneficial and enjoyable. Also, do not be afraid to design your own experience. UHP and the advisors help by putting forth all efforts to support and guide through creating a self-designed experience.

What my future holds

Next for me, I want to go to graduate school to get my Masters in Physician Assistant Studies. I hope to become a pediatric cardiothoracic surgery physician assistant after completing my masters.
