Pursuing My Professional Goals

Achieving my professional goals has been an ongoing mission that began when I entered eighth grade. At this time, I was beginning to take specific courses that related to different types of sciences and mathematics, and I found myself truly fascinated with how each subject intertwined with one another. It was in that time that I realized I wanted to be a women in STEM. My overall target after this realization was that I wanted to obtain a degree in both engineering - specifically Biomedical Engineering - and Chemistry while I was in college. After obtaining both degrees, my next step is to get into Medical School and receive an M.D. in pathology, and then work in a medical laboratory to do research on how diseases arise, which is my end goal throughout this entire process. The idea of doing research in a laboratory has been an image that has been projected in my head countless times and being in the process of obtaining my degrees has helped turned the first step of my goals into a reality. …show more content…
I have not been given a lot of opportunities to work within a laboratory, except in my Chemistry, Engineering and Physics classes, where I gained a great deal of knowledge on how to work with different technologies and utilize a wide variety of techniques to obtain data in all the experiments that were conducted. In comparison to other fields of science, I feel more of a connection and passion towards Chemistry-based experiments. In addition, I am always striving to expand my horizons and gain a better understanding about a particular area of study. I aspire to learn as much information as possible, and become a more knowledgeable member of society as a result. I continually want to grow and develop as a person and gain new skill sets that can be beneficial for my
