I’d read the Harry Potter series twice by the time I was a 4th grader, and I wanted to be a wizard very, very badly. Then came BioShock: an adventure game where you grow in power through genetic engineering. By collecting ‘Plasmids’ you could develop pyrokinesis, invisibility, hypnosis-power, etc. I began to realize: science is magic! My dreams of being a wizard were not in vain. And I was off to the races. Khan Academy, CrashCourse, a horrendously-out-of-date biology textbook from my orthodontist… I consumed science everywhere I could get it. Now at university, I get the privilege of not just continuing to learn, but discovering! I joined the Sarafianos research group during my sophomore year and began to learn what it takes to be a researcher. It’s HARD. It’s fascinating and worth it, but I had to learn that it doesn’t just take creativity, curiosity, or know-how… it's about perseverance and patience. Realizing and adapting to this is still the most important thing I have learned as a researcher during my time at Emory. On a whim during COVID, I signed up for an Intro to Python course. I’d avoided coding throughout high school -- despite being on my school’s FRC robotics team! But, I discovered to my surprise that I really enjoyed it, and as I dived deeper into research and computer science, I wanted to combine them. The Sarafianos lab didn’t have the kind of computational work I was looking for, but with their help and support I transitioned into the research I do now: using machine learning to predict prostate cancer using urinary biomarkers. It’s been thrilling combining medical research and computer science, finding parallels and applications between the two I hadn’t thought of. After graduation, I plan to continue learning about science and programming and applying these to bettering medicine. I will be working in industry for a year (or two!) before beginning a PhD program in Chemistry.

Emory University
I've wrangled whole exome and genome sequencing data in R and cBioPortal to identify genes of interest in prostate cancer metastases. Now, I'm leveraging R and data analysis skills to use Machine Learning to predict the aggressiveness of prostate cancers based on genetic biomarkers.
Emory University
Part of Emory’s Flourishing Initiative, I am helping organize and facilitate intentional conversations between students across different communities on campus through simple 'coffee dates.'
Emory University
I lead two separate research projects for the Ecological Society: The first is to track the newly introduced Joro Spider in the Atlanta area. The spider arrived in Georgia in 2014, and has since spread rapidly through the state, but not a lot is known about how it's going to affect local ecosystems. I lead expeditions of Field Technicians to document the.
Emory University
I taught myself how to use Figma, built the brand identity, and designed the graphical elements of a ride share sharing app with Emory peers.
Emory University
I sharpened my research skills by designing and conducting experiments to identify synergistic HIV-1 inhibitors and amassed data for publication. I worked to streamline an Endogenous Reverse Transcription assay and created HIV mutants to mimic drug resistance. Later, I planned and executed transcription gel assays to test hypotheses on a novel HIV-1.
