Bio

My ultimate goal is to become a reproductive endocrinologist specializing in cutting-edge research, with a focus on developing innovative treatments that address fertility challenges. I am passionate about the intersection of science, medicine, and community service, and I believe that chemistry and nanotechnology can be powerful tools to improve reproductive health. My dedication to helping others extends beyond the lab; I have demonstrated leadership by founding the Overbooked Club, organizing large-scale community events, and mentoring others, including teaching English to immigrant children. These experiences have made me resilient, empathetic, and driven to make a meaningful impact on both individual lives and broader societal health. My hands-on experience in nanotechnology research at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN), along with my commitment to fostering inclusive communities, positions me well to contribute to and thrive in any academic and professional setting as I work toward advancing reproductive healthcare.
