-My primary undergrad degree focus is in Anthropology including ethnographic and linguistic transcription work with a medical anthropology emphasis. Pre-Covid I accepted an internship at the CU Anchutz Medical School here in Colorado in the Molecular Genetics lab working with RNA as a pre-cursor to see if I wanted to go to grad school for medical research in the field of Epigenetics but my interest along w/ a shift in programmatic requirements changed and I decided tot take a leap of faith and go a different route.
