AP Physics was the first course Isabella took in High School that challenged her. It really pushed her to think outside the box.

Then a senior project opened her eyes to diseases that affected not only the elderly but young people as well. That got her thinking about college and Pre Med.

Memorable Quote: “... If I had to give one word, probably determination, I don't know if it's a skill you necessarily pick up or learn. But it was. I mean, research is hard, science is hard and difficult. And at first my research wasn't working, I was finding my results were the opposite of what we want and what we expected. But I didn't stop.” Isabella Osuna.
