I learned about OpenWetWare from Dr. Kam D. Dahlquist, Ph.D., who co-teaches my BIOL398-01/S11 class with Dr. Ben G. Fitzpatrick, Ph.D..

About Me

Sarah Carratt

I am currently a student at Loyola Marymount University seeking a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I am an Honors Associate for the University Honors Program, and my two areas of focus are recruitment and service! In addition, I am the Editor in Chief of PASSION_Magazine, the LMU campus social justice magazine, and also a member of the Human Rights Coalition. I joined my sorority, Delta Zeta, in the spring of 2010, and I am currently the Zi Omicron Standards of Excellence Chair.

After I graduate from LMU, I hope to attend medical school. From the time I was very little, puzzles and word problems were my favorite games. While I am certainly not a mathematician, I do love a challenge and problem solving/diagnostics is one of the primary appeals of medicine for me. As far as a specialty, my passions in the field of biology are genetics and embryology. In the future, I hope to become an OB/GYN.
