Bio

I am a University of California - Irvine sophmore pursuing a Biomedical Engineering degree. I plan to do research and apply for internships that align with this field during my college career. I have been in a 4-year pathway at University City High School Biomedical Science Project-Lead-the-Way program and gained valuable experience that has led me to this point. In addition, from a young age, I had been drawn to the Boy Scouts, eager to explore the great outdoors and learn the skills necessary to survive in even the most challenging environments. I started in Cub Scouts in 2nd grade and graduated to the Boy Scouts in 6th grade, embarking on a journey that would ultimately take over 1000+ hours of dedication to achieve Eagle rank. Achieving Boy Scout Eagle rank is an award that only 4% of Scouts ever receive, a testament to my persistence and determination. These experiences have strengthened my interest in helping others and biomedical science. It has motivated me to select a major in the Biomedical Engineering field. Ultimately, my goal is to create innovative solutions that can save lives and improve the quality of life for people around the world.
