Thetford (Kurita), Maya | 2009 Chrysalis School Alumni

March 22, 2017 By:Chrysalis School

Class of: 2009
College: Seattle Pacific University
Degree: BS Physiology 2015
Occupation: Environmental Laboratory Analyst

Since graduating from Chrysalis I was accepted at SPU, there I found a love of biology. Originally I planned on pursuing a medical degree and was even accepted into a medical school. However, I had began exploring the opportunities in research and found that my true passion was the pursuit of knowledge (really I credit Chrysalis for helping me find enjoyment in learning, rather than make it a chore).

I ended up as a student researcher at SPU focusing on molecular biology, genetics, and human evolution. I fell in love with the process and, in particular, enjoyed the human evolution research done in Dr. Wall-Scheffler’s lab. I had the wonderful opportunity of collecting data on human participants, analyzing and presenting my findings at multiple conferences (including the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, a nationwide conference). During my research I worked as a teaching assistant and taught Microbiology labs at SPU for three years (another great love of mine!).

Eventually I graduated, married and had two great kids. I’m currently working for an environmental firm analyzing inorganic and microbiological samples. I love what I do and plan to pursue graduate school in the future. I owe all of this to Chrysalis, I truly do not believe I would have even ended up in college if my mother hadn’t put me in Chrysalis. I will always be grateful for the experience.

    Thanks for your publication. I also believe that laptop computers have gotten more and more popular today, and now are usually the only form of computer found in a household. Simply because at the same time actually becoming more and more very affordable, their processing power keeps growing to the point where they may be as potent as desktop coming from just a few years ago.

    The the next occasion I just read a weblog, Hopefully that this doesnt disappoint me up to this blog. I mean, It was my replacement for read, but I personally thought youd have something fascinating to talk about. All I hear is often a couple of whining about something that you could fix when you werent too busy in search of attention. Rodolfo Klenke

    Hi there great blog! Does running a blog like this take a massive amount work? I have virtually no understanding of coding however I had been hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyhow, if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject but I simply wanted to ask. Many thanks! Tracey Keno

    “Bu ilişkinin ilk başladığından beri artık 10 yıl geçmiştir. Artık çıtalar daha yüksektir. Daha çok güven ve potansiyel vardır. Bu nedenle uzun metrajlı filmde zaten var olanın üzerine çok sürprizli yeni gelişmeler eklenir. Tipik romantik komedilerin karbon kopyası gibi değildir” Elliot Pujals
