About

Hello! I'm a freshman majoring in biochemistry. My passion for STEM began in my sophomore year chemistry classroom, with a few simple experiments that, over time, grew into a curiosity about why and how certain things happen. Outside of working and studying, I enjoy going to the gym, scrapbooking, exploring new places, and trying new foods!

Goals and interests

Career goal

Since my junior year I've been extremely passionate about becoming a biomedical engineer. However, I've also shown interest in the work of a clinical biochemist and pharmacologist.

Outside the classroom

In my free time, I love scrapbooking and collecting different items for my scrapbook: stickers, plane tickets, washi tape, and more. I also enjoy exploring new places whether it be in-state or out-of-state. As a military child, I've seen a lot of the world and many different cultures. I enjoy something as simple as hiking a new trail to flying to the other side of the world.
