I'm interested in computer science & biology, with a passion for leveraging computational tools to tackle biological challenges. This summer, I'll be interning at Novartis in the Oncology Data Science Department.

Outside of classes, I'm the logistics director of HackMIT, dance on the MIT ballroom dance team, and plan a summer STEM program with dynaMIT.
