WinnerBio
I am a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major, intrigued by research (especially the scientific kind) because there is always something new to learn, discover, or change my mind about.
In the future, I hope to become a surgeon-researcher that can combine knowledge from the neuroscientific and cardiovascular fields to contribute to bettering therapies/surgical procedures for neurovascular disorders.
I am also passionate about using different avenues including mentorship, innovation, advocacy and entrepreneurship to give back to my community.
