I am currently an uprising sophomore hoping to&nbsp; major in Latina\/o Studies and Higher Education. I am from the Metro Detroit area of Michigan with Mexican Roots. I am working at the N\u00f6r Lab with Dr. Justine Moe. My project is focused on oral cancer in nonsmokers and its outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Currently, I have spent time doing cell culture and feeding cells, which has been fun and very challenging when seeing unexpected growth results in cells. For this project, I hope to be able to conduct experiments and collect data. I am hoping that with a lot of practice and time dedicated to working with pipettes, I will be able to become better at working with loading lysis. Some of my skills that I bring to this project include being personable. Since I have the privilege of working in a lab with diverse scholars, it has allowed me to communicate with people from all over the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, I have learned to become an early morning person who wakes up by 5:00am, which is something I didn\u2019t have\u00a0 to do since high school! I am looking forward to being able to overcome my fear of thinking I\u2019ll screw up (I\u2019m very scared to accidentally kill my cancer cells lol). However, from this experience, I hope to gain more confidence and be able to do many things independently because, in the future, I would like to pursue the PhD track in hopes of being a graduate student researcher. As someone passionate about social change and public health, I hope to be able to find help for those who are fighting cancer and other deadly diseases!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Andrea Gonzalez (she\/her\/hers).
