Resume

I am a scientist and current student looking for new experiences and opportunities to help me toward my goal of pursuing a career in medicine!

During my free time, I love to...

1. explore LA and find new foods to post on my food blog, @Bae_Bites on Instagram!
2. swim in the ocean
3. dance
4. run or go to the gym
5. cook for my friends

Why Biology?

I originally came to LMU as a psychology major, however I quickly found myself wanting to go into biology. I love how biology is universal and is constantly advancing and building upon itself. I strive to one day be able to make my own contribution to the field!

Why Mathematics?

From an early age I always loved math. I like how structured and analytical it is most of the time, and I love the feeling I get after conquering a tough problem!
