I am Aarav! I am a senior studying Biochemistry with a certificate in Health Policy. I am from Brookfield WI, one of the suburbs of Milwaukee. I am an Honors Student completing both Honors in the Liberal Arts and Honors in the Major. Outside of school, I work in two research labs and off-campus at the hospital. I am part of a social fraternity and was a part of a residential learning community, Biohouse, my freshman year. 

My favorite Badger memory is from freshman year, in the chemistry lab. The whole class had just finished an experiment and we were working on the data analysis and interpretation. In those couple hours the environment was so supportive. We were helping everyone deal with complicated calculations. It shows how even in a highly competitive field, Badgers were there to support each other first.

One piece of advice I would give my younger self would be to explore more. The university has many buildings, classes, and organizations. Don’t just do what will be beneficial to you career-wise, have some fun too.
