Lorena Torres

Biological Sciences

I am proud of myself for not giving up no matter how hard things got and how impossible it seemed to graduate. By this time next year I hope that I am getting ready to enter a new chapter in my life and attend medical school. For now I plan on celebrating the closing of this chapter with my friends and family.

Nikhil Chakravarty

Microbiology and Immunology

I’ve done a lot and made a lot of memories over my last four years at UCI. I will be taking the next step of my journey at UCLA as I pursue an MPH in Epidemiology. Among many others, some of my favorite memories at UCI have been made taking my immunology classes with Profs. Fruman, Walsh, Tinoco and Lodoen, among others. I look forward to spending time with my friends as we prepare for the next steps of our journey.

Kylie Munson

As I have experienced these past few years at UCI, I am proud to say that I have learned so much and am most proud of my accomplishment of the hard work and dedication that got me to where I am today. By next year, I am hoping to apply to medical school and continue my journey in medicine to contribute to helping others. For now, my graduation plans are to celebrate with friends and family and enjoy some much-needed time off.

My favorite UCI BioSci memory is working as a BioSci 2A TA! I met the most amazing people and made lifelong friends through this program, all while discovering and expanding my capabilities as a leader. This program has a special place in my heart and has been one of the best parts of the last four years!

Christina Gewarges

Biological Sciences

During my first 2 years at UCI, I was part of the EASE program. I have met the most amazing people in this program. This major was very challenging for me, but I wouldn’t have done it without the support from the program, school, friendships, and professors I have met along the way.

Merry Pham

Switching into the BioSci major helped me explore my interests and discover my passions. I’m proud of getting through such a tough undergraduate program and I’m grateful for all the experiences that I’ve acquired. By this time next year, I hope to be applying for post-baccalaureate programs and advancing toward my goal of becoming a clinical laboratory scientist!

Skyler Villanueva

Biological Sciences

We made it! As a UCI transfer student, I am so proud that I graduated early (December 2020)! 2020 by this time next year, I hope to be continuing my education in graduate or medical school. My professional plans are to become an M.D. My dream has always been to become a dermatologist, so I can’t wait to see that dream come true.

Tarlan Keshavarzrad
