My time at CBU and with Biological Sciences was immensely worthwhile. An abundance of mentors guided my growth and prepared me to enter medicine. I built genuine, enduring friendships while navigating challenges. I learned more deeply that God’s purpose for me is simple: love Him and love people. I plan to do just that as a physician.
