My name is Kerri McInnis and I am a junior at Carroll College. I am double major in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and Spanish. Additionally, I am a research student in the Chemistry Department for Professor Pharr. Although I love learning in the classroom, I know that students cannot learn all the skills necessary to be successful through books. This is why I am passionate about research and global education: studying abroad, Engineers without Borders, Medicine in Mexico, and all the other global opportunities at Carroll education.
Last fall, I studied abroad in Valparaíso, Chile for 6 months at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. I spent my weekends and free time surfing, sand boarding, eating lots of sushi, and meeting new people from all over the world. Plus, I got to travel around Chile and South America: to the Atacama desert (the driest desert in the world) and Iguazu falls (1 of 7 natural wonders in the world). No matter what you are studying, a multicultural education is and will be crucial to solving global issues. Academics should never get in the way of global adventure and vice-versa; in fact, the directly support each other. Vamos Chile!
