 I am a current junior at the University of Notre Dame pursuing a B.S. in Science-Business. This past year has put much into perspective regarding the irreplaceable value and comfort provided by family, culture, and creativity. The avenue provided by the beauty industry offers a unique platform for all people to express themselves to their fullest, and as a science student with a strong love of chemistry and passion for the confidence and creativity inspired by cosmetics, I feel more firmly than ever that my future lies working in the research and development side of the cosmeceutical industry. As a result, I am presently in the process of searching for an internship for the summer of 2021.

I am a third-year undergraduate student from the Bay Area, studying biochemistry at University College Dublin, Ireland. 
I've always had an inclination to skincare products ever since I started battling with hormonal acne. Having acne is really what got me looking into skincare ingredients and I soon realized that I could combine my interests in raw ingredients with my future degree in biochemistry. I love learning about skin and body care and the different materials that are used in conjunction to formulate an effective product.
One thing that interests me, in particular, are the effects of retinoids on gene expression, something that I would like to understand more as there is limited research on the topic. I am also very interested in the human microbiome and how that plays a role in skin-related pathologies. In short, the things that interest me the most in the research and development field of cosmetics are raw ingredients, retinoids, and the microbiome. If this is something that your company does I would be more than honored to be a part of it as an intern and can send a CV over.
