My name is Jessica and I am currently a Biochemistry major and a Freshman here at Michigan State.  I plan to apply to various medical schools my junior year and I hope to one day become either a psychiatrist or an anesthesiologist.  Adolescent mental health and eating behaviors are two specific things I am very interested in, so naturally I became a research assistant for Dr. Kelly Klump. Beyond working as a research assistant, I am the Director of Relations and Chairperson of the Promotions Committee of the Freshman Class Council, I work in the Brody Cafeteria, and I also work as a teen college adviser for the magazine Seventeen.

My hobbies are equestrian riding, reading, traveling, playing intramural sports (especially soccer =] ) and hanging out with my friends and boyfriend, Josh.
