I am currently pursuing a major in Bioinformatics at BYU, having previously studied Neuroscience. My initial interest in Neuroscience led me to work in the BIB lab, where I discovered a passion for the computational and data analysis side of research, prompting my switch to Bioinformatics. Despite the shift, I remain deeply fascinated by the brain and its functions. After graduation, I plan to attend medical school to further explore the intersection of data, biology, and healthcare. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, skiing, and playing the piano.
