Mallory Boedefeld

Junior, Class of 2027

Wake Forest University

I'm excited to apply the knowledge I've learned in my classes to a research project, where I can gain a deeper understanding of the process and contribute to meaningful work. Outside of science, I love to run, hike, travel, hang out with friends, and read in my free time! (Starting Jan, 2026)

Nadia Chudzik

Sophomore, Class of 2028

Wake Forest University

I am interested in gaining hands-on lab skills in biology research while developing my own independent project that prepares me for future research and career development. Outside of research, I am a dance minor and dance with the Wake Forest Dance Company, spend time training for running races, and engage in volunteer work connected to my pre-med interests.
