Karissa Mesquita

She is a double major in biology and kinesiology at Texas Tech University. She is currently under the pre-medicine program yet open-minded to other opportunities in the near future. Her intended career will consist of practicing in the field of sports medicine. She joined the YSPL with an interest in prevention of injury and enhancing performance. When she has any time available, She works with Addus Healthcare as a caregiver for elderly people with dementia/Alzheimer disease. During her recreational time she loved to play sports, watch documentaries and spend time with my family.
