About

I am a senior at the Colorado School of Mines, pursuing a degree in biochemistry with a strong passion for innovation and discovery.

Recently my academic journey has been enriched by hands-on research exploring genetic modifications of key enzymes in algae—a project that has deepened my understanding of biotechnology and its potential for sustainable solutions.

Beyond academics, I’ve embraced leadership opportunities within Sigma Kappa, where I’ve honed skills in team management, communication, and event coordination. These experiences have taught me the value of collaboration, adaptability, and creating meaningful connections.

I also contribute to the campus community as a General Chemistry Stockroom Assistant, ensuring smooth operations and developing organizational and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment.

I’m driven by curiosity, teamwork, and a desire to apply my knowledge to make a positive impact in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology. I’m excited to connect with professionals and organizations who share my enthusiasm for research, sustainability, and leadership development.

Let’s connect and explore opportunities to innovate and grow together!

Goals and interests

Career goal

My long-term career goal is to become a medical doctor. My main motivation for becoming a doctor is to help improve the quality of life of those in need. Currently, I am leaning toward becoming an otolaryngologist. With that being said, I have not yet decided if I want to go directly into medical school after I complete my master's degree or if I want to work for a bit in the pharmaceutical industry.

Graduate school interests

I am happy to announce that I have been accepted into the Chemistry Master's Non-Thesis Program at Colorado School Of Mines! I will be entering this program Spring 2025!

I am incredibly honored to have been accepted into the program. I am also incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful support I have received these past four years.
