About

I am a forth-year student at the University of California, Santa Cruz majoring in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. After obtaining my degree, I aspire to become a genetic counselor. In my career, I want to raise awareness of the many genetic disorders to underrepresented populations. I am passionate about biology specially genetics, and how it will help us find cure for many genetic disorders.
