Bio

I am an undergraduate student at Grambling State University with a strong interest in global health and the transformative role of technology in the health sciences. I am majoring in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science and plan to pursue an MD-PhD with a PhD in Computational Medicine. Previously, I had the opportunity to work as a bioinformatics research intern at the RNA Institute at the University at Albany, where I gained hands-on experience at the intersection of biology and computer science.
