Hello! My name is Hailee Shania Banks, and I am a Senior Biology major, Neuroscience Studies minor at Longwood University! Upon completing my degree in May 2023 and receiving a Bachelors degree in Biology, I have completed a variety of courses that have challenged me to develop essential skills for my future academic and career goals. I planned to attend medical school where I want to pursue the field of neurology! I enjoy research on complex topics like cancer, traumatic brain injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases. I plan to take a gap year after graduating in May 2023 and am interested in medical technician and/or medical lab assistant jobs to gain more clinical experience for medical school applications!
I am originally from Dinwiddie, Virginia and chose to attend Longwood University due to my mother attending here, the beautiful campus, and the small-town feel. Throughout my studies here, I have been able to form great relationships with faculty and other students who are interested in the same route of medical school. I have also been able to participate in various internships and research to professionally develop my academic and experience skills. In addition, I am an executive member of Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity, Pre-Med Scholar and a Longwood University Transfer Ambassador!
