Why I chose Case's pharmacology department

I decided to come to Case because the professors appeared very excited about their research with an open communication amongst departmental members. I chose pharmacology because I worked previously in a pharmacology lab and thought it was my best choice to keep all other options open for a career.

Where I see myself in the future

I hope to graduate(as we all do!) and possibly teach on an undergraduate or graduate level.

Hobbies and outside interests

Sailing on Lake Erie, running, dance aerobics, visiting museums and other attractions in the area.
