About Keira
On study abroad Fall 2024
I’m completing a dual degree in Neuroscience and Philosophy and legal studies, complemented by a minor in Biology, here at the UMass Commonwealth Honors College. Alongside my academic pursuits, I’m deeply engaged in student leadership as a senator representing the class of 2026 in the Student Government Association. With a passion for both science and law, I have been involved in antibiotic research as a member of the SutURe-Self team and previously was introduced into the lab via the Fall 23 CURE group. Beyond academia, I work as a pharmacy technician, where I further cultivate my interest in drug development, particularly in the realm of antibiotic discovery. My long-term goal is to attend law school and specialize in pharmaceutical law, leveraging my interdisciplinary background to contribute to the field. Join me on this journey of exploration and impact!
