UVA Biology People Sofia Jamal

Sofia Jamal

Hi! I'm a second year in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am a Biology and Psychology double-major and am on the premed track. After graduating from U.Va., I plan to go to medical school and eventually specialize in oncology. At U.Va., I volunteer in Med Services with Madison House and am involved with the Muslim Students Association council and Pakistani Students Association. In my first semester at U.Va., I took introductory biology with lab and absolutely fell in love with the subject. I found lab very interesting and my peer teacher was very enthusiastic about the subject--I wanted to become a peer teacher to help others have a positive experience and learn to enjoy lab while expanding their knowledge in biology.
