About

I am a dedicated full-time student at the University of California, Merced, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology with an emphasis on Microbiology and Immunology. I balance my academic journey with two jobs, working as a nurse assistant and as an SJVP+ Student Assistant. With a strong passion for medicine, I plan to further my education at UC Davis or UCSF through the SJV PRIME program. My ultimate goal is to specialize in neurological research and patient care.
