Taylor Hays

Hometown: Kansas City, Missouri

Sophomore in Genetics

What I like about the Genetics major: I love the genetics major because of all the different kinds of people you can meet it in. The major offers various career goals from medicine to research to counseling and it is exciting to see the diverse groups of people the major attracts. 

Why I choose to be a peer mentor: I wanted to be a peer mentor because I know how overwhelming your first year can be. I want to help alleviate the worries of incoming freshmen and aid in the creation of a positive community so that students can feel more at home at ISU.

Advice: Force yourself to go outside your comfort zone and take advantage of every single opportunity you’re given; you never know what new interests you’ll uncover or friends you might meet. 

What I like to do outside of class work: Outside of class I enjoy going to ISU fitness classes, watching horror movies and spending time with my cat.

Career goals: In the future, I hope to pursue a career in the medical field.
