Amy Schneida

Bachelor of Science in Biology

After getting a dose of what it’s really like to work in the medical field, Amy Schneida is one step closer to medical school and practicing psychiatry. When she’s not caring for patients in urgent care, you can find her researching how mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels cause neuron disruptions in the brain.
