Caleb Bower
Major: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Hometown: Brentwood, CA Hobbies: Playing baseball, playing basketball, drinking boba, fishing, watching Youtube, watching superhero movies Fun Fact: I am in love with anything related to vanilla. I enjoy vanilla ice cream, vanilla boba drinks, vanilla lotion, vanilla perfume/cologne, and I especially enjoy smelling the vanilla extract when baking cookies. Why I Decided to Pursue Biochemistry: Ever since I was a little kid, I have always wanted to help people in life. I always thought the best way to help people was to go into law enforcement. Unfortunately, my mom made me promise to never become a police officer because it is a very dangerous profession; therefore, I needed to find a career that helps law enforcement. Forensic Science was the first thing that came to mind due to my interest in “Forensic Files” and science. My AP Biology teacher told me that her friend worked as a Forensic Scientist for the FBI, and she had an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry; therefore, I decided to pursue Biochemistry. |

Javeria Haroon
Major: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Hometown: Doha, Qatar and Mountain House,CA Hobbies: Reading, crafting, baking. Also watching bad conspiracy theories on YouTube Fun Fact: I can have ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner without any problem. All flavors are great, but nothing will ever beat gold medal ribbon from Baskin Robbins Why I Decided to Pursue Biochemistry: My love for the sciences and the “wow” factor at the end of each explanation. Science is basically a bunch of magic tricks and studying biochemistry is my way of learning the secrets. |

Sophia Hunter
Major: Pharmaceutical Chemistry Hometown: Antelope, CA Hobbies: Playing piano, cooking/baking, hiking Fun Fact: My hair used to be stick-straight up through middle school, but then became curly by senior year of high school! Why I Decided to Pursue Pharmaceutical Chemistry: To be honest, I love all the sciences and it’s hard for me to pick just one. I started out as an Applied Physics major, but I decided that I like chemistry slightly more than physics, so Pharmaceutical Chemistry it was! I want to eventually become a pharmacist (making bank) and work at your local Costco (and get free samples). |
