My name is Amanda Lin, and I am a 3rd year senior here at the University of Texas at Austin from Sugar Land, TX in the Houston area. After bouncing through a couple of natural science majors, I finally settled with majoring in a Biology Bachelor in Science and Arts (BSA) degree and a minor in psychology. The BSA lets me finish the courses I need for medical school while taking many of the other amazing courses offered here, such as this one! Since I come from a biology background and I am a pre-med student, I would like to focus my project on public health or some other aspect of healthcare.
