It is these two dimensions that led to my selection of biomedical engineering as my major. After being a student at Harford Community College (HCC) for two years, I recognize that I have reached my full potential here and need to transfer in order to continue growing as a student. As an active member in the STEM program, majoring in Chemistry with Calculus-Based Physics at HCC, I developed the necessary logistical skills and analytical mindset needed in order to grasp concepts and utilize them effectively. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have continued to develop myself as a musician by playing at various events as well as improvising my own music. In transferring, I hope to further the creative mindset I have gained from being a musician, as well as the analytical skills I have learned in the STEM program to create unique innovations that solve the challenges facing the biomedical engineering field. …show more content…

Despite adversities, I remained positive and engaged in my courses. I selected courses relevant to biomedical engineering such as Calculus, Differential Equations, and Organic Chemistry which have provided essential concepts that helped form a solid foundation. In addition to this, I volunteered in the biomedical engineering department at the Veteran's Affairs Hospital at Perry Point, as well as continued my own outside research. This foundation has prepared me for the rigorous coursework and obstacles to be faced in the biomedical engineering
