Week 10:
Goodbye to Mayo Clinic
August 13, 2022 | The day this summer has been leading up to is finally here… It’s the end of my internship at Mayo Clinic. Week 10 was by far the hardest yet most rewarding week of my experience. I truly found myself wishing I had more time to spend in the lab with the friends I made. While […]
Week 9:
A Flavorful Week
August 6, 2022 | This week was bittersweet as it was Nolan and Dalin’s last.

“Sleep Is More than Brainwashing”
July 2, 2022 | As I mentioned last week, this week would be the continuation of the climb up the Slope of Enlightenment. This week was very much an uphill climb!

Week 3:
Climbing Uphill
June 25, 2022 | Week 3 flew by! I had so many amazing experiences this week that it would be hard to share all of them. One of the most exciting things I did was shadow for the first time. Dr. Erik St. Louis was happy to bring me aboard for his morning clinic. Before seeing any patients, Dr. […]
