At MIT, I discovered a passion for Biological Engineering. Still thrilled by the study of foreign language, I completed my coursework a bit early to free up my first term senior year. When looking at schools abroad, I discovered that Italy is home to a host of exciting laboratories for neuroengineering! Though I had studied many years of French and only one IAP (MIT’s January semester) of Italian, my science came first.
Last fall, I found the lab for me in Pisa, Italy. After countless hours pouring over papers and editing my research proposal, this May I got some very good news: I was awarded both the MISTI Sun Fellowship and the Eloranta Fellowship! With a lot of hard work and a good bit of luck, I had the funding I needed and my flight was booked. Just over a month later, my plane landed in the Pisa airport.
