I am a graduating senior at Fountain Valley High School with a 4.33 weighted GPA, committed to pursuing a B.S. in Molecular Cell Biology and Physiology at California State University, Long Beach, as a part of the University Honors Program. My long-term goal currently is to get into a prestigious MD-PhD program at a local university. My academic journey is full of interest in genetics and bioinformatics, which has led me to participate in NASA's GeneLab research program. Beyond the classroom, I've developed discipline for a medical career through years of competitive varsity swimming and advanced piano performance, eventually earning a spot in the Music Teachers' Association of California - Certificate of Merit, Panel Convention Honors group, a feat that only 50 musicians across California can do.
