About

I'm a Bioengineering major at UC Berkeley and I'm premed; I chose Berkeley because I wanted a biology education that was both interdisciiplinary and focused, and Berkeley was the perfect place to learn data science techniques, about the biotech startup landscape, and have access to the resources of UCSF and the Children's Hospital in Oakland. At school, I'm currently the Chief Marketing Officer of a nonprofit called the Medical Reallocation Initiative, the Academic Officer of the Translational Medicine and Stem Cell Association, the Media and Marketing Officer of the Regents' and Chancellor's Scholars Association, member at the Bioengineering Honor Society and at the Premed Honor Society, a Medical Scribe at DeepScribe, and occasional intern at the Queer Alliance Resource Center. I've done research at Berkeley, UCSF, USC, and CHORI across a variety of fields, including Regenerative Medicine, Pulmonary Immunology, Neurological Surgery, Hepatology, and Infectious Diseases.
