Hey everyone! My name is Shivam Patel and I am a Junior studying Molecular and Cellular Biology with a minor in Business. I am currently on the Pre-Med track and involved with many different clubs and organizations here on campus. I am currently an undergraduate research assistant in the Nutrition and Human Microbiome Lab. I also volunteer at the Carle Foundation Hospital in the Pediatrics Department and work as a CAN back at home. In my free time, I love playing basketball or working out at the ARC. I have also been getting more into Pickleball lately and enjoy playing that with friends. I remember being a freshman and how overwhelming it was to balance classes and extracurriculars. I was very lucky that I had help and guidance from the upperclassmen that I knew. If you need help with classes or anything Pre-Med related, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you all!
