Nice to Meet You! by Jacqueline Faulk

​Hello everyone! My name is Jacqueline Faulk, and I am a current sophomore at William Tennent High School. I see myself as a compassionate and motivated person, which I try to embrace as often as I can. I spend my free time playing tennis and with children, whether it be babysitting, tutoring, or in my own home. I love to write poems, essays, stories, or random words with my calligraphy pens. I’m always humming a tune or doing a little dance. I spend a lot of time with my family because they are what drives me along with my ambitious goals.

Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a teacher. It seemed perfect, a balanced blend of my adoration for children and passion for school, which I always had. However, everything changed on my father’s bring your child to work day. We went to the bio-pharmaceutical company where he worked and I instantly fell in love. It may not have been graphic design like my father, but hearing about how the team at Celgene was changing the world through science and technology instantly sparked my interest. Ever since then, I have felt truly at home in the world of science. TRIP is a way for me to get a hands-on feel into a scientific research project and I am incredibly excited and grateful for the experience!
