I graduated from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a double major Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and Biochemistry. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Nutritional Biochemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and working as a researcher investigating the effect of plant sterol esters on cholesterol metabolism. My previous undergraduate biochemical research investigated galectin-3, a protein involved in tumor progression.
