Biography
I am a rising senior concentrating in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. For my concentration, I have been working in Dr. Yang's lab studying the role of SHP2 in cartilage degeneration, but I have also worked on a systematic review investigating heat-related injuries in endurance athletes. Outside of academics, I am community outreach chair for Ink@Brown, a track and field athlete (jumps and hurdles), and a Sheridan Center tutor. I am pre-med and would love to answer questions about courses, MCAT prep, or anything else pre-med related!
