As a third year biochemistry major at Cal Poly SLO, I am passionate about exploring the complexities of life at the molecular level. My academic experience so far has provided me with an excellent foundation in analytical organic and inorganic chemistry, strong interpersonal skills, and a curious mindset. I am actively involved in organic chemistry research, which has greatly expanded my technical lab skills and my ability to effectively collaborate with others. I am eager to apply these skills to a career in the paints and polymers industry, which I plan to get my Master's degree in through a blended 5 year program.
