About Me
I am an aspiring Genetic Engineer with a passion for DNA, RNA, and plasmid applications especially related to immuno-oncology and rare diseases. One skill I feel as though has been useful throughout my career so far has been my ability to learn new things quickly. I've been able to learn cell culture in short 2 weeks, as well as learn the skills needed for computational genomics from scratch for my Senior Capstone. I am currently looking for a position that is able to cater to my passion for genomics and push my boundaries to explore new things.

Interests
In my free time, I love to try new things whether it be a new restaurant, a new hike, or meeting a new friend. I'm also enthusiastic about travel and my favorite places I've been to have been either New Zealand or Paris. Even though I have lots of STEM-related interests, I have always loved music and art, and you can find me spending my weekends at a small concert or art museum.
