Meet our scholars

Growing up by the ocean, I developed a deep curiosity about living systems and how they interact with the world around them. That curiosity evolved into a passion for science and technology, and how they can be applied to solve real challenges in health and the environment. I am now studying Cell and Molecular Biology, drawn to the intersections of biotechnology, health science, and environmental innovation. I am interested in how emerging technologies can be used to design better solutions for both people and the planet, exploring everything from molecular research to applied biological systems. I aim to approach science with leadership and a commitment to service, as technology is most powerful when it is inclusive, community‑driven, and connected to the people it benefits. Outside of the lab, you will find me surfing, diving, and hiking. I am excited to keep learning, contribute to meaningful research, and be part of a generation that approaches problems with creativity and purpose.
