Senior Pre-Health Peer Advisor: Sarah St. Germain

I am a senior majoring in human biology with a minor in business, and on the pre-medical track. My schedule is filled with engaging extracurricular activities that allow me to gain valuable clinical experience, volunteer, and shadow top-notch medical professionals. Through these experiences, I have gained a wealth of knowledge about the various specialties within the medical field, and what it truly takes to become a doctor.

Apart from my academic pursuits, I am an active volunteer for the Crisis Text Line and McLaren Hospital. I have also recently joined the crew of volunteers at Mitten Misfits Farm Sanctuary which I absolutely love.

Getting certified as a Nursing Assistant has also been one of my proudest achievements throughout the past year as well as becoming the President of the American Medical Women’s Association at Michigan State University. Giving back to my community is incredibly important to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of those around me. Of course, I also make sure to take time for myself and indulge in my interests. I absolutely love traveling, spending time on my lake, attending concerts, and hanging out with friends.

 If you're interested in learning more about what MSU has to offer, or simply want to chat about your own journey, I would be happy to connect. I look forward to the opportunity to share my experiences and help you along the way!
