I am a senior undergraduate at UCSC with a major in Bioengineering with a biomolecular concentration and minor in bioinformatics. As one of the lab leads on our iGEM team, I draft protocols and oversee experiments to make sure everything is conducted according to our project plan. Aside from doing research, I have been a passionate artist since early childhood. I also have a casual love for skateboarding, playing guitar, and cooking. I plan on applying to PhD programs this Fall that center around autoimmune therapeutics research, with the vision of doing a project specifically about rheumatoid arthritis.
