Raha Goodarzi
rgooda2@uic.edu Hi everyone! My name is Raha Goodarzi and I am a senior majoring in biological sciences on the pre-dental track. I am interested in pursuing a career in dentistry and owning a private practice for general dentistry in the future. I was originally born in Iran and lived there during my childhood before moving to Turkey. I can speak Farsi and English fluently. Outside of school I enjoy working out, spending time with friends and family, and trying out new foods. I enjoyed taking this class last semester and found it very insightful. I’m very excited for our semester together! Parker Gillis
pgill8@uic.edu Hi everyone, my name is Parker Gillis. I am a junior here at UIC, and I am currently majoring in Biology. The picture you are seeing to the side is from a Bass research internship I worked last summer. After graduating I hope to do post-grad work at a university near the ocean, where I can do more research in the water. Specifically, I would love to research the coral bleaching that is occurring in the coral reefs off the coast of Australia. When I am not at school, I love to skateboard, draw, play guitar, and listen to music. Merwin D'Souza
