Yuridia Amezcua
Junior
Hometown: Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ.
Minor: Psychology.
Research Lab: I conduct research under the mentorship of Dr. Valerie Schaibley through the School of Health Professions, where I analyze workforce practices across genetic counseling specialties.
Clubs and other activities: I am a preceptor for Chemical Thinking II, where I get to help students and be a better science communicator. Additionally, I occasionally volunteer at Banner Hospital as a front desk patient escort.
My favorite aspect about being an ambassador is being able to share my undergraduate experiences as an MCB student!
My favorite classes are BIOC385, MCB325, PCOL325.
Ask me about: what’s it like doing undergraduate research, volunteering, and grocery couponing!
