Hi Bo’s and future Bo’s! My name is Tessa Player. I am a member of the Class of 2027 from the San Francisco Bay Area studying Biology on the Pre-Med Track. Aside from working as an admissions intern and tour guide here at Tufts, I am a captain of the Track & Field team, a representative for several student organizations — Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Green Dot, Athlete Ally, and Pre-Medical Society Mentor — and an undergraduate research assistant in a biomedical engineering lab on campus. Off-campus, I also work as a student research intern at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Emergency Department. If I’m not in the lab or in the gym, you’ll likely find me lounging on Prez Lawn or grabbing a Tropikale smoothie from Kindlevan Cafe (despite being scary and green, they're delicious, I promise).
With it being mid-January — and a frigid 9 degrees (-13°C) outside at the time of writing — I’m often reminded of a question I hear on nearly every campus…
Interested in pursuing a career in medicine but unsure of how to get involved in patient care? Considering working as a first responder? Are you concerned…
Fall in New England is truly one of my favorite things. The air turns crisp, the leaves shift to deep maroon, gold, and scarlet, and campus comes alive…
