Meet a real Biological Technician:
Keisha Hines-Harris
"Many of my friends in high school either had no clue or knew exactly what career they wanted to choose. I have always known that I wanted a career in science, but it wasn't until my last year of high school that I knew it would be genetics. My only advice to high school students is: If you have many career choices in mind, don't be afraid to research and try them all, because the odds are, one of them will be your destiny.”
