Fun Fact

I worked throughout college, usually holding two jobs! Before biochemistry, I anticipated being a professional in film/theatre/the arts as I have extensive singing/acting/dancing experience. I love rock climbing, volleyball, animals, Japanese culture and Jamaican culture. A Jill of all trades!

Passion

I am so curious in a multitude of disciplines -- I am most passionate about understanding the physiological, biological, and technological advancements in our new globalized world. I hope to fund research or start my own; ideally I'd love to produce a TedTalk!
