A Bit About Me
My name is Aria Norwood and I am a pre-med chemistry major with a minor in microbiology. I recently transferred to Dominican this fall as a junior. In the future, I plan on attending medical school for dermatology and/or earning my master's degree in chemistry. I am excited to study herpetology with Dr. OHG and the class for the rest of my time here at Dominican!
