Our 2017 scholarship winner was Laura Alejandra Espinoza Carranza, a graduate of Righetti High School in Orcutt, CA. Laura is continuing her studies at UC Berkeley and has shared her plans with us:
My plans for the future is to be a medical scientist. So, the major that I am planning to study is genetics, genomics and development. I will study at UC Berkeley and I will start this summer (2017). I want to be a medical scientist because I want to give hope to the people that were told that only have few months or years of life. I want to help end terminal diseases, like cancer, by doing research.
