About
Pre-medical biochemistry student at Texas Tech University with a 4.0 GPA, pursuing a career in medicine. My undergraduate years have included hands-on research in two labs, clinical volunteering across multiple healthcare settings, leadership of a collegiate swim program, founding a global health organization, and ranch work that taught me what hard, practical work actually looks like.
