Meet the Team

 I am Kanedra Thaxton, a student at Michigan State University and I major in human biology. My plan is to attend medical school after graduating and to become an operating surgeon. I have always been interested in the medical field because the idea of helping people was always the best thing you could do. Recently, during my senior year in high school, I was on Channel 7 news as one of their “Best and Brightest Students” and I have volunteered at different organizations such as, Gleaners Food Bank, and Operation Good Cheer. During my free time, I like to do research about becoming a surgeon and the different responsibilities that they have. My dream is to become a Trauma and Orthopedic Surgeon and I hope I can inspire someone along the way. From my portion of the blog, I hope I have helped you with expanding your knowledge about responsibilities pertaining to surgeons that you might not have been aware of.


I am Amanda Ziminski and I am an undergraduate student at Michigan State University majoring in Human Biology. I also recently completed my licensure to become an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). After graduating from MSU I hope to attend medical school. Currently I am interested in specializing in cardiology or emergency medicine. I have always been interested in science, specifically biology. As a high school student I had many opportunities to job shadow in my local clinic and emergency room which ignited my passion for medicine and drove me to always researching different aspects of it. In this blog I hope to inspire and educate you on the interesting and exciting components of medicine!
