Hey everyone! My name's Keegan and I'm the Social Outreach chair for BMES this year. I'm a sophomore and right now I plan on following the cellular engineering track & going to grad school. Some of my hobbies include crocheting, listening to true crime podcasts, oversharing about Alaska, and reading tarot! I'm super excited to get to know everyone and host some AWESOME social events!

Jami is a junior Bioengineering student on the Biomechanics track, minoring in Mechanical Engineering. She is currently completing a co-op at the Human Engineering Research Laboratories. Outside of classes and work, Jami loves playing racquetball, reading, and being outdoors.

Hi! My name is Abbey Geary, I am a freshman and while I am not entirely sure what my track will be quite yet, I am leaning towards the cellular engineering track, and hope to eventually get involved with research and possibly an internship. I am currently the freshman representative for BMES, and I hope to get more of my freshman classmates interested in all BMES has to offer! I love everything outdoors, am a big skier, and also enjoy cooking, baking and drawing. Can’t wait to get more people involved this year!
