About Me
I'm interested in computer science & biology, with a passion for leveraging computational tools to tackle biological challenges.
This summer, I interned at Eli Lilly in the PK/PD group! Previously, I conducted research at Novartis in the Oncology Data Science Department.
Outside of classes, I plan the logistics of HackMIT, dance on the MIT ballroom dance team, and plan a summer STEM program with dynaMIT.
