Shelby Roles '15
Name: Shelby Roles
Graduating Class: 2015
Major(s)/Minor(s): Biology, Religion minor
Your Story: My name is Shelby Roles! I’m from Lakeville, MN. I want to be a doctor because I have had so many privileges and opportunities, and becoming a physician is an excellent way for me to use those gifts to give back to my community! I enjoy playing piano, going on long runs, and Doctor Who. I’m really happy about my decision to attend Gustavus, because I have experienced such a great community here. Without the opportunities I’ve had to learn and serve at Gustavus, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Top Five Activities/Experiences: (in no particular order)
- Pre-health January Career Exploration at River's Edge Hospital
- Working at Benedictine nursing home
- Conducting research on campus over the summer
- Studying piano under Esther Wang, the greatest piano instructor ever!
- Volunteering at the Mayo Health Systems Emergency room in Mankato
Advice:
- Make sure you start preparing early! Get involved, connect with professors, and work hard right when you start college!
- Minor in something you really enjoy, even if it has nothing to do with medicine or science.
- Take full advantage of all the opportunities offered here at Gustavus!
Future Plans:
Attending the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities, start Fall 2015.
