Bio

Hello, I'm Leva! I am studying biochemistry with a curiosity in how we can harness biology for material alternatives that do not harm our earth, animals, or health. My experience as a refugee has taught me how to navigate systems that were not built for me, and how to use that knowledge to help build better ones for others.
