About

Currently I am an undergraduate student working on my double major in physics and psychology. My experience so far includes 3 years of study in psychology with an emphasis in neuroscience, and two years experience studying physics. My physics experience and interests are in biophysics and astrophysics. Currently I am finishing my major in psychology and will graduate by the summer of 2016. By this time I will have also completed my minor in Mandarin Chinese. By the summer of 2017 I will have finished my physics major.

My key interest is to find research and internships for physics. I am very eager to begin
