Bio: I have always been driven to learn for the sake of learning. My academic goals include studying interesting topics within both my major and minor and allow me to cultivate a wider perspective in life by combining both biology and economics. My goal is to do work in the fields of cellular and molecular biology as a research scientist since I want to be on the frontiers of discovery and push the boundaries of what we know.
