Briana Robinson

My life goal is to be a bioinformatician. I am passionate about what I do when it comes to education and my career goals. I am very determined and dedicated towards what I want to do in life. This can be proven, since I gave away my high school years to instead go to college and get my associates degree by joining the collegiate academy. I only had one year just as a normal high school student and even then there was COVID. I knew that I would have to give up my extracurricular classes, however my education was worth it. My overall goal is to get my doctorial degree. I am very confident that I can get there if I stay dedicated and determined.
