After my time at St Joseph School, I graduated from St. Mary's College High School summa cum laude and delivered the Salutatorian Address in 2012. In 2016, I earned my BS in Molecular Cell Biology with minors in Mathematics and Music from Dominican University of California with magna cum laude honors. As class representative, I was honored to deliver the Honors Program Graduation Speech. After working for a year at a biopharmaceutical, I returned to Dominican University to earn my MS in Biological Sciences in 2019, and completed my research at BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.
This photo is of me on the American University of Antigua campus, where I am currently a second year student. Also, I'm a competitive bowler who is sponsored by the bowling ball company 900 Global and the shoe company 3G. In 2023, I became the Vice President of the Contra Costa County United States Bowling Congress Association.
Congratulations on all of your successes, Irene! We are proud of you!
