Clara Vicera

Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Clara Vicera is a third year undergraduate student at the University of Alberta, pursuing her Bachelor of Science with a Specialization in Cell Biology. Clara was fascinated by the sciences ever since she was young. At five years old, her favourite subject in kindergarten was math after adding up blocks and solving simple problems; her passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) grew from there. Clara is a Women in Scholarship, Engineering, Science, and Technology (WISEST) alum of their 2019 Summer Research Program. She performed organic chemistry research with the Lundgren group. Currently, Clara is a member of the Wylie Group, participating in a comparative biological research project studying bird brains. Outside of schoolwork, she enjoys baking, cross-stitching, watching Seinfeld or The Office, or taking a long nap!
