Lucy Scholma

Lucy Scholma headshotHey hey! My name is Lucy Scholma, and I am from Fayetteville, Arkansas. I am a senior in the Bumpers College Honors Program majoring in Food, Nutrition, and Health, minoring in Medical Humanities, and on the Pre-Med track. I have always been passionate about food (how could you not be!), especially the intersection between our diets and the health its developmental aspects of our bodies and minds.

I am excited to have a background in nutrition as a physician one day as it will be an extremely beneficial foundation for many aspects of medicine. The honors program here at Bumpers has been a huge asset not only for my academic journey but also through the transition to college and in figuring out how to be a successful student and peer. I am thrilled to be able to serve incoming freshmen this semester and be a friendly face whenever they have questions, need advice, or want to talk about all the delicious coffee shops in Northwest Arkansas. Outside of peer mentoring, I am a volunteer at Arkansas Children's Hospital, an Honors Ambassador, and a member of Alpha Delta Epsilon Premedical Honors Society. I've also started to love research through working on my honors thesis and interning at Washington University in St. Louis in a lab this past summer! I love kids, the outdoors, traveling, thrifting, and trying new things. I am looking forward to an awesome semester!
