ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (April 11, 2023) — Augustana College senior Gabriela Loiz, a biology and Spanish for professional use double major from Davenport, Iowa, was nominated to submit a “More Than I Imagined” profile by Dr Tim Muir, associate professor of biology.

Annually, faculty nominate Augustana's seniors who have achieved remarkable academic or personal growth to appear in the college's “More Than I Imagined” series. Read Loiz's profile at More Than I Imagined.

Dr Muir said it was clear from the start Loiz was a serious student with a professional approach to learning.

"Her love of science, desire to solve problems, and passion for helping people perform physically make her a great fit for the physical-therapy field," Dr Muir said. "She has certainly made the most of her Augustana experience, and I cannot wait to see what she does next."
