Career interests

I am currently unsure as to where my experience with Biomathematics will take me. However, after I graduate from Loyola Marymount, I plan on attending graduate school in order to further my education. I have been interested in oral health and craniofacial biology for a very long time, so I could see myself continuing my career in one of these fields.

Personal Interests and Hobbies

I was born and raised in Fresno, California, just about an hour away from Yosemite National Park. I have spent many summers living in the Sierra Nevada mountains, resulting in my love for all things outdoorsy- including swimming, boating, hiking with my dog, and overall adventure. When I can find the time, I love to read and prefer classics, especially Steinbeck and Vonnegut. I love to travel and experience new cultures. During Fall of 2014, I studied abroad in Bonn, Germany and made sure to maximize my time there by traveling as often as I could. I ended up visiting 11 countries during that semester and loved every single one.

Favorite Aspects of Biology and Mathematics

1. My favorite aspect of biology is how absolutely complex it is, which allows new discoveries and an ever-changing field. All types of science, including biology, will always be pertinent as a final frontier of sorts because scientists will continue to find new things or create different hypotheses and theories.
2. My favorite aspect of mathematics is how each problem is like a small puzzle. There is such a level of satisfaction that comes with getting a math problem right that really should not be undervalued. I appreciate how black and white some parts of math can be when everything else in the world doesn't have such a strict definition of right and wrong.
