BIOGRAPHY
Hi! My name is Zona and I grew up in Urbana. I'm studying geography with plans to go into urban planning, but dreams to be a travel writer or scuba diver still in my heart. Outside of school and Illini 4000, I spend my time watching movies, cooking a new dish, or cycling. I am beyond excited to be expanding my bike route from central Illinois country roads to the whole US!
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I'm doing this for all of my family members who are or have battled cancer, and my family friend Nancy Abelmann who we lost to cancer. I have personally seen the massive impact that very recent advancements in cancer medicine on outcomes for patients and how much this means to them and their families.
