Senior Spotlight: Winnie Wong

Hi everyone! My name is Winnie Wong and I am a graduating senior.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up, I had a passion for the sciences, especially in chemistry when I was first introduced to it in high school. I thoroughly enjoyed how such complicated processes could be intertwined neatly together. I pursued an Honors Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry at the University of Delaware. To gain experience in my field, I turned to internship and undergraduate research opportunities.

I was secretary of the university’s Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) chapter, reaching out to students from Asian minority backgrounds to engage them in the professional aspects of a STEM-based future. 

Moving forward, I will be attending graduate school at Boston University. I hope to continue my research into synthetic organic chemistry.

My advice is to keep an open mind about new possibilities and experiences!! Take time to explore all your interests.

While college may be a time for professional growth, there are also moments for personal achievements as well.

Attend that event at Perkins or Trabant or take on that study abroad trip! Make the most of your years here at UD! 🙂
