Biomedical Science Major - Grand Valley State University, MI
Music Minor - Grand Valley State University, MI 

"Upon graduating from Grand Valley State University in 2019 I earned a BS with a Biomedical Science Major and Music minor on the Oboe. Being a part of the Oboe studio under Professor Vavrikova was definitely a highlight of my college career. Her enthusiasm and passion for the Oboe were as contagious as the gorgeous sound of the Oboe itself. Professor Vavrikova was very considerate to the time I had to dedicate to my major while still pushing me to be the very best I could possibly be. I experienced tremendous personal and musical growth under the guidance of Professor Vavrikova. After graduation I had the exciting opportunity to continue on at Grand Valley as a Laboratory Professor, teaching Organic, Inorganic, and Biological Chemistry labs. Along with teaching I also work at Spectrum Health as a Microbiology Laboratory Assistant conducting, troubleshooting, interpreting, and resulting a variety of tests as well as plating and setting up cultures. As of right now, my future plans include Medical school with an end prospect of becoming a Forensic Pathologist."
