Getting Involved in EEB

Hi! I’m Audrey, a senior at the University of Arizona majoring in Biology with an emphasis in Biomedical Sciences and minoring in Biochemistry. I’m excited to serve as an EEB Ambassador because I love to connect with other students, answer questions, and share my experiences at the University of Arizona! On campus, I’ve been involved in research through the College of Nursing, where I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to a women’s health study and gain experience in clinical research. Through my coursework and research experiences, I’ve developed a strong interest in medicine and translational research. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you and sharing my experiences as an EEB student, it is an amazing department to be part of!

Hi! I’m a junior majoring in Biology with minors in Biochemistry and Spanish. I’m excited to serve as an EEB ambassador and I look forward to connecting with students, sharing my experiences, and answering questions about academics and opportunities and the University of Arizona. On campus, I work as a tutor at the SALT Center, where I help students with math, chemistry, physiology, and more. I’m also involved in the Flying Samaritans club where I have served as a scribe at a volunteer medical clinic in Agua Prieta, Mexico. Outside of academics, I enjoy volunteering at the kitten lounge, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. I’m interested in pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant. I can’t wait to share my EEB experience!

Hi! I’m Fabiola Mendoza, a first-generation college student and senior double majoring in Applied Biotechnology and Biology with an emphasis in Biomedical Sciences. On campus, I am part of the MARC Program and conduct research in the Langlais Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Paul R. Langlais. I also serve as a preceptor for the biotechnology laboratory course and am involved in several other clubs and organizations on campus, so feel free to ask me about those as well! Outside of school, I enjoy reading, cooking, practicing yoga, spending time with family and friends, and visiting cat cafes. My research experiences have sparked my passion for biomedical research, and after graduation, I plan to pursue a Ph.D. and a career in medical research, specifically focusing on endocrinology and reproductive health. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way and help future students find their own place in EEB! 

Hi everyone! My name is Emma Felix and I am from Tucson, Arizona. I am a senior majoring in Biology with an emphasis on Biomedical Sciences. Although I am graduating in December, I am so excited to have the privilege of being an EEB ambassador this semester. Here on campus, I volunteer for an organization called MexZona. We get to travel to Puerto Peñasco, Sonora for the weekend and treat patients at the free clinic. I also had the opportunity of studying abroad this summer in Portugal, where I was able to shadow doctors from different specialties at the hospital there. My goal is to attend medical school to become a doctor and I plan on taking the MCAT in the beginning of next year. Please feel free to ask me any question you may have. I cannot wait to meet all of you!

Hi everyone, my name is Lauren Anderson, and I am a junior majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with minors in Marine Science and Spanish! On campus, I am a part of AZ Club Swim and also a College of Science Ambassador. I also participate in ongoing coral heat-resilience research at the Ocean Reef Lab at Biosphere 2 under Dr. Diane Thompson. After I graduate, I plan to pursue a Master’s degree in Marine Biology, focusing on revitalizing coral reefs through various restoration processes. I chose to become an EEB Ambassador because I wanted to share my experiences and help students navigate their college career and discover resources.

Hi all! I am a senior, and since I was very young, I've always known I wanted to do something with the natural world, which eventually led me to Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with a minor in Marine Science. Alongside my studies, I work as a field tech with UF on Project Portal, studying rodents out in Portal, AZ. Entomology and mammalogy are my biggest wildlife passions, and after graduation, I hope to build a career in wildlife conservation.
I became an EEB ambassador because I love helping incoming and current students navigate everything the department has to offer. I'm excited to connect with you all and answer any questions you have :)

Hi, my name is Zoe! I'm a senior majoring in Biology with a minor in Studio Art. On campus, I'm the President and Co-founder of Campus Confections, the University of Arizona's baking club. I'm also a member of the Advocacy and Policy Club and Delta Delta Sigma (DDS), and I have had my artwork displayed in the Grey Door Gallery at the School of Art. Outside of campus, I continue to familiarize myself with the healthcare field by volunteering at Banner Health, attending Pima Dental Study Club meetings, and serving as an ambassador for the charity organization Love&Letters. After graduation, I plan to go to dental school. I'm excited to connect with fellow EEB students this school year!
