STEMLA '28 

Prospective Major(s): Neuroscience; Computer Science minor 

Interests: My curiosity about how our brains work sparked my passion for neuroscience, and I am excited to dive into research at ÀÏÍõÂÛ̳’s biology labs. Around campus, you will find me involved in various clubs—like MSA, ASA, Owls Ambassadors, Taekwondo, and the Service Club.

Growing up in a culturally rich country, I fell in love with languages early on (currently on a 535 day Duolingo streak!). When I am not learning new phrases, you will probably find me trying out new hobbies—anything from rock climbing and yoga to gardening, traveling, and on lines at pop-up events. Capturing moments through photos and videos brings me joy and fuel my creativity, and I am always down for a good stand-up comedy special, a happy-ending fiction novel and arts & crafts.
