I am a first-year undergraduate at Colorado School of Mines (Mines) studying Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering. In addition to the core first-year coursework, I am also enrolled in Freshman Honors. I am active in BioBuilders, Mines Catholic, and the Evolve Entrepreneurship Club. I am on the board of BioBuilders, and I also volunteer weekly in the group’s laboratory to help students learn essential lab skills. Most of my high school coursework involved dual credit, honors, and AP classes. I maintained a 3.9 GPA (4.0 scale) while volunteering as a math tutor and earning varsity letters in cross country, track, and soccer. I was co-captain of a cross country team that podiumed twice at state, including a state championship. I am passionate about running, fitness, LEGOS, learning about other cultures, making a difference in my community, and making the world a better place. I plan to spend a semester or two studying abroad.
