Bio

Hi! I’m Riya, an incoming college freshman at Yale University from Ohio. I'm passionate about the intersection of computer science and medicine, especially how technology can be used to improve healthcare access, diagnostics, and equity. Over the past few years, I’ve explored this intersection through research, coding projects, and community engagement. Whether it’s mentoring younger students or diving into computational biology, I love tackling challenges that sit at the crossroads of logic, creativity, and community service. I’m excited to keep learning, collaborating, and finding new ways to make a difference through technology.
