My interest in medical lab started in high school where I completed a Capstone Senior Project. I dedicated my research to the lab of hematology and I shadowed a laboratory technologist at Sentara Princess Anne Hospital to better understand the field. From there, my fascination with blood testing grew and I imagined myself in a lab coat. Another detail I appreciated was that medical laboratory personnel have limited patient interaction, which fits well with my introverted character. The work behind the scenes is something I admire deeply, and I hope to raise awareness about this crucial field. I have a passion for science and I believe this career suits me, which is why I want to graduate with a degree in medical laboratory science.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-140\" style=\"width:387px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/vanessadelacruz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37572\/2024\/11\/IMG_5009-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My intended major is Medical Laboratory Science.
