TORI MORRIS
Tori Morris (’19) graduated with a BS in Biochemistry. After graduating, she moved to Galveston Island, TX, to attend the University of Texas Medical Branch. Upon completion, she will receive a PhD in Human Pathophysiology and Transitional Medicine. While transitioning to grad school was challenging, she found that MBU had provided the scientific foundation and internship opportunities she needed. Tori appreciates the way professors challenged her in all areas of life—personal, professional, and spiritual.
