Background

About Sofie Kupiec

I love solving mysteries. Throughout my education at Loyola University Chicago, I have been motivated by my innate curiosity to discover answers to my every thought about biology-about the 'how' and 'why' in life. Whether that be from cultivating Zamioculcas zamiifolia to microscopically determining pathogens, I've been able to expand the bounds of both my societal knowledge and anatomical knowledge and use it to teach others. While studying Biology, I discovered nothing satisfies me more than meeting new people, aiding others, developing new relationships, and supporting the connections of a community. My college life was comprised of fine tuning my curiosity towards learning and sharing this knowledge with others. From forming study groups in Organic Chemistry, becoming a mentor to my honors underclassmen, joining the American Medical Student association, learning Osteology, to then become a teaching assistant to the Anthropology Department. I've learned that my core values align with being able to effectively use my education in Biology, and translate that into problem-solving issues while forming connections with others. I’m interested in aiding lab and clinical settings to support other communities, and aim to join the healthcare industry to aid others. I love identifying and diligently fixing problems and promoting organization in businesses.
