Hi! My name is Dana Johannsen, and I am a second-year Echols scholar from Fredericksburg, Virginia. I intend to major in biology and applied statistics with a minor in French, and I hope to attend graduate school after my time at UVA. When I'm not in class or doing homework, I work as an undergraduate research assistant for the Bergland lab in the biology department. I am also the Women's Social Chair for Club Running at UVA, and I race both cross country and track with the team. I wanted to be a peer teacher for introductory biology so I could offer support to the students in this challenging class and share my love of biology with others.
