Bio

Hello! My name is Amy Cheung, and I am a current undergraduate student at Boston University. I am a first-generation Chinese American and the first to attend college in my family! I am studying Biology with a specialization in Cell Bio, Molecular Bio, and Genetics! I am deeply passionate about laboratory research, particularly drawn to its potential to uncover new perspectives while also challenging existing knowledge. I hope to contribute to biological innovations that improve lives and transform healthcare within a lab setting. Beyond academics, I find joy expressing myself through badminton, pickleball, and music. I love volunteering, being active, and singing to my heart's content. Above all, I am committed to advancing a more inclusive society, one that values diversity, equality, and empowers everyone to thrive. I am a member of Boston University's Tri-Alpha National Honor Society for First-Generation college students & a content creator for BU's Dogpound- the hype team for their DI hockey team!
