"I chose to become a microbiologist because I have always been curious about the effects of microorganisms on the environment and its inhabitants. I want to be a part of the solutions to our environmental problems. When I was a kid, I was always fascinated by microscopes and living things that were too small for me to see with a naked eye. As I've grown older, I'm still just as fascinated and now know more about how many of those living things impact the world around us. Being on top of the issues related to this area and finding solutions for them is all very exciting to me. The ever-changing landscape of the microbiology is fast-paced and keeps me engaged on a daily basis."
