About me: In my final year of my bachelor’s, I decided to do everything I wanted to be a part of. So here I am being a part of a great iGEM team, learning a new language (anyone speak Spanish?!), enjoying outdoor activities and learning to dance. There is no better time than now to do what you love!'

As I look towards the future, I believe that both of these areas of study hold many exciting developments discoveries. Outside of my studies I enjoy experimenting with other art forms such as painting, calligraphy, and interior designing (mainly my room).'
