Jun 30, 2018 Conversation EXPLO Pre-College + Career

Meet Julia from Brazil

Vibrant and always smiling, Julia is a budding biologist who came to EXPLO to determine if she is on the right path. She has fully immersed herself in all things biology and is excited to follow in the footsteps of her mother and her teacher (who also happens to be her role model).

I love animals. I have cats, a dog, a guinea pig, a spider, and currently I am trying to get a snake. See, it's illegal in Brazil to just own a snake so I am in negotiations with one the conservatories and I am trying to plead my case so I am allowed to own a snake. 

My mother is a biologist, and ever since I can remember I have always loved biology — specifically that of animals. My role model also happens to be my Biology teacher back at home. Biology is a mandated subject to take in Brazil and most people hate it, but it is one of my favorite things. Apart from the biology part, my teacher also just inspires me in general and that has given me the push and drive to pursue a biology career.

I am currently taking Genetic Engineering and Surgical Interventions here at EXPLO. I start college in January of next year and I kind of came to EXPLO to see if Biology was the right path for me. The classes here are so amazing, so I know for sure now that that is what I want to do.
