UVA Biology People Iain Encarnacion

Iain Encarnacion

My name is Iain Encarnacion and I am a Fourth Year biology major! I have been peer teaching for the past several semesters and I have found it to be such a rewarding experience to teach my peers biology. I am extremely passionate about science and I would like instill that same passion in other students. Never having a biology lab in high school made lab a little difficult at first, but having proper guidance was beneficial and that is what I would like to provide the students. Outside of peer teaching I enjoy cooking, going grocery shopping at Trader Joe's, exploring Charlottesville with friends, and watching Modern Family. After graduation, I am planning to apply to medical school while working as a scribe during my bridge year.
