She worked really hard at her studies and earned herself a full academic scholarship to study biochemistry in college.
Heidi had the opportunity to shadow a surgeon during one summer, and she knew she wanted to switch her major over to pre-med.
Heidi dreamed of graduating and working in the medical field, but she tragically never even got to finish her sophomore year.

Heidi made it just two days into her second year of college, and then her bright young life was brutally cut short.
She had made an appointment to tell her college advisor that she wanted to start her pre-med track, and she phoned up her parents to excitedly tell them about her decision.
This would be the last phone call Heidi ever made to her family. She never made it to her appointment with her advisor.

On Wednesday, August 26th, 2009, Heidi’s boyfriend David Metzler picked her up from the apartment she shared with 5 of her college friends, and the two drove in David’s 1992 blue Toyota Camera to Caldwell Fields Campground around 8 that evening. The two had met in church and started dating in college.
