The Scots Science Scholars

Hi, my name is Ginny Guisadio! I’m a neuroscience-biochemistry major from Morristown, TN and a part of the bicentennial class of 2019. When the year officially starts, I’ll be involved in various organizations, including the American Chemical Society, the Student Government Association, and the Student Programming Board. I’ll also be starting on a study of microaggressions within the athletic population with Dr. Kathie Shiba as a part of her Positive Psychology Lab.

When I’m not studying, my time is usually spent napping in various places around campus or watching Netflix when I probably should be studying. I have a strangely excellent memory for things that aren’t always relevant but are sort of interesting. It’s also quite likely that I’ll be the shortest person you’ll come across.

I look forward to adding more S3 kids to the clan and helping them through as much of college as I can. To the new Scots Science Scholars, feel free to laugh when the outdoors claims another victory against me!

My name is Alan Miramontes Flores. I am a rising sophomore who is majoring in Biochemistry with a minor in Spanish. I am also very involved in Maryville College campus as an MC Ambassador, ALANA Scholar, and the treasurer of SGA.  This summer I spent my time working at my family’s restaurant as a waiter, and as an ESL volunteer at Centro Hispano of East Tennessee, which is a nonprofit that helps this region’s Hispanic community. Next year I hope to start looking for unique STEM internship opportunities where I can continue to develop my skills. I am really excited to be one of this year’s Scots Science Scholars peer mentors.  I am really looking forward to meeting all of the new Scots Science scholars and I hope to encourage this year’s students to continue pursuing a career in a STEM field, As an S3 Scholar, I know that the transition to being a college student can very difficult. I aspire to pursue each student’s transition and make them feel welcomed at Maryville College and in the Scots Science Scholars summer program.
