Hello Kirkland Rotary Club! Hope everyone has enjoyed a holiday season and slight break from the hustle and bustle of life. I am back in school now and busy as ever. Last quarter (seems like ages ago) I was accepted into the Biochemistry BS degree program! This means as long as I pass my classes, I will graduate next year from UW. This quarter has started off with classes online but things should be returning to in person next week. I am excited to begin volunteering at the U district food bank and Kaiser Permanente Capitol Hill. Finally, I have begun research at the UW South Lake Union Lab on Cystic Fibrosis and diabetes. Interesting stuff! Thanks again,Erik
