Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Rebekah Vertrees and I am currently a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am a pre-nursing student and am minoring in Spanish for the Medical Professions. I am from a small town in Western NC called Waynesville. Some of my favorite things are golden retrievers, hiking, and country music. One of my favorite hiking destinations is Max Patch, which is only about a 30 minute drive from my house in Waynesville and is a part of the Appalachian Trail. Last summer, I camped on top of Max Patch and it was incredible to wake up to a panoramic view of the sunrise over the mountains. I am excited to delve in and learn about the complexity of Microbiology this semester at UNC!
