Who Am I

Hi,

I’m Brooke Huisman, a rising sophomore at University of Michigan, studying biomedical engineering and minoring in German.  I do research in human genetics, specifically looking at the phenomenon of X-chromosome inactivation.  I am from Clarkston, Michigan (about a one hour drive from Ann Arbor).  I hope to study in a dual degree MD/PhD program and pursue a career in medical research.

I enjoy playing volleyball, biking, reading, and writing, and I look forward to exploring Ann Arbor this summer.  I also love to travel and spent last month backpacking in Europe, mostly with my sister.  I visited Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary.  I also had a long bus ride through—and bathroom break in—Slovakia (if that counts as visiting!).

Go Blue!

Brooke
