It’s summer, and we welcome another class of Undergraduate Research Interns. This year we have three interns. Today, meet Preston Marrable from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Preston will be working with RegenPGC CoPD Dr. Shuizhang Fei.
Preston’s goals for the summer are to “gain more knowledge and strengthen my work ethic and attention to detail. As much as I want to improve on a professional level, I also want to build friendly relationships with my fellow peers.”
We are pleased to welcome Preston to Iowa State University, where we know he will learn a lot with Dr. Fei!
Meet Preston Marrable
Brief Bio. I grew up in Los Angeles while moving around Southern California as a kid. I currently live in North Carolina, and I attend North Carolina Ag & Tech State University as a rising junior. My favorite subjects are English and History. My personal hobbies are cooking, exercise, and listening to music. Something unexpected about me is that I went to Japan last year, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Why I applied… I applied to the program because I want to gain research experience in STEM and mathematics. I also want to gain professional insight and experience by building a coalition of connections among my Iowa State colleagues before, during, and after the program has finished.
My expectations for the REU program include… I want to gain more knowledge and strengthen my work ethic and attention to detail. As much as I want to improve on a professional level, I also want to build friendly relationships with my fellow peers.
