Biography

Hey guys! My name is Daria, and I’m a second year Biology major at SDSU on the pre-dental track. I drove 3,500 miles from a small town in the state of Maine to explore opportunities and experience living life independent from my family. In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts, working out and prioritizing nutrition. Aside from a health focus, I also paint, enjoy reading, watching shows, and I’m a member in various activities on campus. My specific experiences with navigating living on my own was an obstacle of mine that I’ve recently had to overcome and is now one of my strengths! Please reach out if you need help with academic tips, balancing school and life, or anything else you may be questioning
