UVA Biology People Zack Whiting

Zack Whiting

I am a fourth-year Biology and Economics double major from Cleveland, Ohio. I am a Medical Scribe in the Emergency Department at the UVA Hospital and I am planning to work in an orthopedic clinic next year after graduation while I apply to medical school. I do research in a neurobiology fly lab in the Biology department in addition to being a member of the Men’s Club Soccer team. I enjoy playing pick-up basketball, watching the Cavaliers and Indians, trying all the good food Charlottesville has to offer, and spending time with friends. I wanted to be a peer teacher because of how helpful my own peer teacher was when I took the course. It can sometimes be tough asking questions to a professor and my peer teacher was incredibly approachable. As a pre-med student on the same path that many of these younger students are considering, I wanted to be available to answer any questions and offer guidance.
