I am currently a junior at Hobart and William Smith Colleges as a double major in Studio Arts and Biology. I am very passionate about my art as well as the sciences and hope to eventually mend the two together into a career. I plan to further my education to ultimately complete a doctorate degree. My biggest career goal is to become a scientific or medical illustrator, to help visualize all kinds of processes and render accurate scientific subjects. I like to consider myself a very patient and dedicated student and worker. Since high school, I have been able to handle many academic and professional responsibilities at once and believe I am a very hard worker. I became a certified nursing assistant at 16 years old in a dementia memory care nursing home, while handling my sports, academics, and becoming class president in both my junior and senior year of high school. I believe I am good candidate for these scholarships because I know that I can use the funds to help me achieve the excellence I know I am capable of.
