As a genetics major with a passion for molecular biology, I am committed to advancing my knowledge and research skills in this dynamic field. I aspire to pursue a PhD in molecular biology and genetics, with a focus on exploring the complexities of genetic research and its applications in human health.I have had the privilege of conducting research through the UCLA Bruins in Genomics Program, where I investigated the effects of chromosome 17q21.31 on neuropsychiatric disorders and neurogenesis. Additionally, my research experience at Oregon State University has further honed my skills in genetics.Beyond research, I have accumulated over 427 volunteer hours at John Muir Medical Center, where I contributed to various special projects, patient discharges, and front desk operations. I also served as a tutor and chaperone for Native youth field trips through Scoots Valley Tribal TANF, providing educational support and mentorship.Driven by curiosity and a love for learning, I aim to make meaningful contributions to the field of genetics while continuing to grow both personally and professionally.
