Bio
I graduated from the University of Washington in 2025 with a degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. I'm currently taking a gap year and applying to medical school. I work as a medical assistant at a sports medicine and physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic, where I assist with patient intakes, diagnostic ultrasound, and ultrasound-guided procedures. As an undergraduate, I led a neurodevelopmental toxicology research project that resulted in a first-author publication in eLife. I'm interested in pediatrics and childhood neurodevelopment.
