Anastasia Navarro
My name is Anastasia Navarro and I am a Psychology major at Palomar College. Next fall I am planning to transfer to CSUSM to continue my education and earn my Bachelor’s Degree. After I finish school, I am hoping to pursue a career in the healthcare system and become a psychologist.
Christina Velasquez
I am a Public Health major at Palomar. I plan on transferring to a 4-year university by Fall 2022. I am very excited and passionate about starting my research journey through this program. This will help me gain clinical lab experience that I can use towards a potential future in research. As of right now my career goal is to become a doctor (MD or DO) but I am very interested in research as well so I am excited to see where this opportunity takes me. Personally I feel healthcare and research go hand in hand so being involved in both are extremely important to me. Outside of school and my studies I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, traveling, and eating yummy food!
Kayla Brostrom
I am currently a student Palomar College, majoring in biology. I plan to transfer in the Fall of 2022. My goal is to continue research in microbiology, specifically alternatives for antibiotics, to combat the growing resistance microbes are continually acquiring. I plan to pursue a medical degree as well to coincide with my medical microbiology education. Outside of school I enjoy swimming laps, experimenting with new recipes, or reading science fiction novels.
Marybel Vargas
My name is Marybel Vargas. I am currently a student at Palomar College. In Fall 2022, I hope to transfer to UCSD. I am a Marine Biology major. I am passionate about this field because there is still a lot to learn about our ocean and marine life. Currently, my goals are to get a Bachelor of Science degree and seek out the opportunities there are for me in this major.
