It’s a pleasure to meet you!My passion for applied problem-solving and collaborative research has been honed throughout my academic and professional journey. With hopes of solving major problems in STEM, I am proud to be bridging academia and industry through NEXQ and contuing my mathematical oncology research with Dr. Russell Rockne and Dr. Ryan Woodall. Previously, I worked closely with Dr. Catherine Cannizzo, Dr. Heyrim Cho, Dr. Yat Tin Chow, Dr. Mykhailo Potomkin, Dr. Allen P. Mills, Dr. Quan Cheng, and Dr. Alexander S. Malinick, respectively, in reverse chronological order. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make a meaningful impact, I look forward to conversing with fellow peers and mentors to gain insight into how diversity plays an impactful role in daily life. I am eager to learn from industry leaders and contribute to projects that push the boundaries of innovation and progress. As we all know, education and knowledge are the keys to success.
