About

My aim is to participate in translational medicine clinical research because of my fascination with why certain pathogens trigger disease. I am keen to learn about how pathways trigger disease.

Goals and interests

Career goal

The merge of healthcare with technology is where my passion lies. My intention is to participate in the development of driving humanity forward through healthcare. I thoroughly enjoy the problem solving aspects of science and believe that by knowing thyself at a cellular level helps eradicate disease world wide through scientific research and applications toward medicine.

Outside the classroom

In particular I thoroughly enjoy reading and my favorite hobby would ultimately be writing poetry. I equally enjoy hiking and visiting museums to explore and immerse myself in other cultures that I have read about. I am passionate about creating art through numerous mediums as well as traveling to new places where I can learn more about the way people live differently all around the globe!
