Adriane Lawes

Majoring in Chemistry (Conc. Biochemistry And Neuroscience), Minoring in Business & Classical Studies
John Carroll University, Class of 2025
From Shaker Heights, Ohio
I am a rising senior at John Carroll University majoring in Chemistry, concentrating in Biochemistry and Neuroscience, and minoring in Business and Classical Studies. I have a strong passion for neuroscience and pharmacology-related research, and plan to enroll in a PhD program in a related field. I am currently doing research at JCU under the tutelage of Dr. Pam J. Vanderzalm, to lay a good foundation for my projects in graduate school. On campus, I am also a Tour Guide for the Office of Admissions and an officer for the Streak Accessibility Club and East Asian Student Association. Outside of campus, I also compete regionally and nationally in Taekwondo Olympic-style Sparring.
