"Ever since I was little, I have been fascinated with biology. In high school, I had a biology teacher who had worked as a Toxicologist, and he would describe what his job entailed. I talked with him at length about the profession, and he set up a meeting with a former colleague. His friend gave me a tour of the laboratory and explained what schooling I would need. Over the years, he became my mentor while I was earning my degree. I find everything about this profession fascinating."
