"I was driven to the Bioengineering program here at the University of Colorado given its affiliation with the reputable Anschutz Medical Campus. Being a part of Anschutz has allowed me and my peers to collaborate across multiple disciplines and specialties. It's a plus that Denver has the best of the city life and mountain life, making life outside of school truly a dream come true. I'm enthusiastic about the many career opportunities available to me in the Denver area."
