UMass Lowell wasn’t high on Jennica Hamm’s list of colleges. That changed the day she visited campus and met faculty.
Hamm grew up in Lowell and moved to Chelmsford with her family when she was in middle school. When thinking about her major, she knew that she wanted a career in health sciences. While she may eventually become a physician, Hamm says that the MLS option provides her with many different career possibilities.
“I think that the MLS program provides a good avenue to pursue other things while still engaging me in the world of medicine,” says Hamm. “I like figuring things out, and I feel the work that I would be doing once I graduate will provide me with a plethora of different problems to solve.”
“I tend to absorb information quickly and am detail-oriented, and I like to help first-year students get their bearings, just like I got help,” she says.
“There are so many opportunities at UML to make connections and form friendships,” says Hamm. “This was definitely the right decision for me.”
