Bio

As a disabled computer science student, I hope to make a difference in the world by exploring Bioinformatics and its potential to treat ever-stuborn genetic conditions like my own. I hope to serve as a role model for women with disabilities who are aspiring STEM majors to show them that their disabilities don't define them: their strength, bravery, and persistence do.
