Biotechnology and Biochemistry in general is my subject interest.

I would like to pursue a BS/MS program in Biotechnology.

I'm obsessed with science fiction and horror podcasts. And, in my spare time, I write short stories to submit to No Sleep (unsuccessfully, it's for my own enjoyment).

**What is your favorite book/movie/song and why?**

Dune by Frank Herbert. When I was a teenager I lived in a small town and reading the detailed and intricate universe of Dune provided me a safe escape from the world around me.

**What is your current favorite streaming binge and why?**

The Sheridan Tapes, because I love the way the story-telling flows.

**In your spare time, what do you enjoy doing?**

Writing, reading, cooking, and doodling on occasion!

**How are you practicing self-care during this difficult time?**

I have meditated at least once a day, and I've been enjoying trying different face masks that I find at Dollar Tree.

**How are you adjusting to remote life and what are your tips to stay motivated?**

I have both a digital and physical calendar that I use to keep track of stuff. And I make my bed every morning and get dressed into real clothes so that it sets the tone for the rest of the day so that I stay out of bed.

**As a Point Community College Scholarship Recipient, what is your message to other LGBTQ+ students?**

Please don't lose hope and that there is a whole community of loving people in this world that will and love and accept you.
