"Hello! My name is Jennifer Dominy and was born and raised in Illinois, but I moved to Arizona in 2018. I am the oldest amongst my siblings, and the first child to attend college. My hobbies include arts and crafts, cooking, and listening to music. I have been interested in chemistry and biology ever since my freshmen year in high school and officially set my eyes on medicine after graduating in 2024. I am committed to attaining my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and have been taking classes to meet my pre-med requirements, in hopes to kick-start my journey to medical school. I am determined to become an anesthesiologist with a reputation of empathy, compassion, and trust within my community."
