Bio

I'm a sophomore at Purdue University, double majoring in Chemistry and Biology. My ultimate goal is to go to med school. I was born and raised in Turkey and I moved to the states with my family when I was 14. Since then, I've been working hard to save up for my college and also trying to balance being premed.
