Meet Kiandra, a Junior Biology major/Psychology minor from Columbia, TN. Upon graduation she plans to attend Meharry Medical School and become a general surgeon, specializing in bariatrics.

Advice to Lipscomb students: Don't get too caught up in studying and forget to take care of yourself. Self care and allowing time for yourself is important if you want to perform at your best.

What are you involved in at Lipscomb? Secretary in BSU, Tri Beta Honors Society, WEB Du Bois Intercultural Honors Society, and a student worker at the University Health Clinic.

Fun Fact: My freshman year, Lipscomb hosted a surgeon who performed a knee surgery on a cadaver. It was one of the grossest but also the most intriguing thing I've ever seen.

Why did you choose Lipscomb?: I chose Lipscomb because I loved the size of the campus and classrooms. It really gives you a chance to interact with your professor and classmates.
