Hi! My name is Diana Turrieta (she/her) and I’m a third year biochemistry major with a minor in Italian. I’m a born and raised New Yorker from Queens and my family is originally from Chile. I’m super passionate about building community and providing access to resources so I love spending my time at the different cultural centers on campus like the Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) and Latinx Student Cultural Center (LSCC). Some hobbies I enjoy are going on walks and anything art related (as of recently pottery!). In the future, I intend to pursue a PhD in biological sciences and a research related job.
Hi, I’m Kiran and I’m a 3rd year at Northeastern. My major is Marine Biology and my minor is Data Science, and I’m from Newton, Massachusetts. I’m passionate about marine conservation and hope to work for NOAA. I also love soccer and cooking!
My name is Shayna Gordon. I’m from Oradell, New Jersey and am a biochemistry major at Northeastern with an anticipated graduation year set for 2025. My academic and personal journey is a reflection of my passion for veterinary medicine and a profound curiosity about our natural world. Currently, I am on co-op at Angell Animal Medical Center, where I serve as an assistant and surgery technician in their neurology department. The opportunity to contribute to the well-being of beloved animals is incredibly rewarding, and I am thrilled to be part of a community of scholarship recipients who share my commitment to making a positive impact on the world. In my free time, I love to go to the gym and try new restaurants and foods in Boston!
My name is Aissata and I am a third-year Biology major from Long Island, New York. I am currently on co-op working in a clinical research lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, doing research in circadian systems biology. I enjoy learning about the science behind how diseases and disorders manifest in the body and the various stages that go into treating them, both on the clinical side and the research side. I hope to pursue an MD/PhD and become a research physician.
