About me

Hi, I'm Sandra!

I’m Sandra Chen, a student from Jericho, New York, with a passion for veterinary medicine, animal science, and research. I’ve always been drawn to both animals and medicine, and through veterinary shadowing, research, and animal science advocacy, that interest has grown into a clear passion for veterinary medicine.

Outside of science, I enjoy playing piano, badminton, running, and spending time with my dog!
