Winning Application

Alexandria Lyden
University of New Hampshire-Main CampusPetersham, MA
As an upcoming senior genetics major, I have many different pathways that I could take once I graduate. However, my heart has been set on one career since I was a junior in high school. After graduation, my plan is to pursue a career as a genetic counselor. I have always had a love for genetics and a desire to help others, and I believe this career is the perfect opportunity to do both.
