Perspectives From the #YoteFam
To me, there is no other college that I would benefit more from than The College of Idaho because of its intimate classroom settings, professor availability, and endless opportunities with networking. Through resources of the College, I secured job interviews, internships, and community-based opportunities that I know I would not have received elsewhere.
While at The College of Idaho, I’ve been to London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Paris, Greece and Turkey. Before I graduate, I’ll also go to Hawaii and study archeology and natural biology. My advice: I don’t see any reason not to come to a school that from the get-go shows that they already invest in me, and I just adore this school.
Medicine has always been my passion and The College of Idaho provided the opportunity to acquire a diverse education while also preparing me for my future career. I had the opportunity to pursue research as well as work at the Salmon River Clinic. Both of these experiences provided insight into different aspects of medicine and further confirmed my desire to pursue medicine as a career.
I was incredibly fortunate to intern at Blue Cross of Idaho to learn about a perspective of healthcare I knew nothing about. Through my mentors at BCI and with interest in becoming a small-town physician, I also interned in clinics in St. Maries, Hailey and Stanley, Idaho. In all, each mentor has had a meaningful impact in defining me and my future aspirations, and I could do none of that without the College.
The College of Idaho has helped me discover my full potential by providing me with an academic environment that challenges me to take on leadership roles. Through the supportive faculty and engaging coursework, I’ve gained a network of people that have inspired me to give back to my community by exploring internship opportunities in public and civil service.
Doing biomedical research concerning a relevant and important danger to youth health, vaping, brought the real-world applications of college to my fingertips. Working for Stanley’s Salmon River Clinic and ambulance service has given me an amazing hands-on experience with rural medicine. And, working as a lead ambassador has allowed me to help other students find this gem of a school.
