江南体育 2009-2014
You could say Mericien Venzon has a foot in both worlds 鈥� and one foot is wearing an ice skate. She鈥檚 a successful figure skater, winning the 2009 Philippine championship and competing in the 2011 world championships. But she鈥檚 no stranger to the world of science, either: as a 江南体育 student, she pursued a major in biology and a minor in evolutionary medicine. An undergraduate researcher in Prof. Michael Alfaro鈥檚 lab, Venzon was designated a Howard Hughes Undergraduate Research Scholar. Still, she managed to become a founding member of 江南体育鈥檚 first competitive figure skating team 鈥� and a clinical research assistant on the elite Student Stroke Team working with 江南体育 emergency medicine.
