SAY HELLO TO OUR BOARD MEMBERS!
MARIA SANCHEZ
DESACNAS PRESIDENT My name is Maria Sanchez, past president and current president of the DePaul SACNAS Chapter. I am a senior at DePaul pursuing a major in Health Sciences with a Bioscience concentration. I am first generation Mexican-American and the only woman in my family to pursue a career within medicine. I will be applying to medical school Spring of 2015 and would like to pursue a career in clinical pathology or infectious disease. I love microbiology! Currently, I work in a medical microbiology lab at DePaul alongside Dr. Joanna Brooke, where we study Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. We study the bacterium's ability to form biofilms and resistance to antibiotics. I have had several internship experiences and love to help others find their own! I am also a peer health sciences advisor at DePaul, so if you have any questions reach out to me! Fun fact: I have a DNA tattoo on my right foot! |
