Where They're Headed

Biology major and fine arts minor Natalia Amaral Marrero '18 will attend Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine this fall.

“I‘m excited for a career that will constantly challenge my understanding of biology in a context that I find completely rewarding and beneficial to society,” she says. “I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to complete my undergraduate education at Haverford, where I was able to prepare for vet school by gaining a general literacy in STEM fields, learning the necessary skills and concepts, while also becoming more competent in academic spaces that are not restricted to my biology major.”

"Where They're Headed" is a blog series detailing the post-graduation plans of the Class of 2018.
