My career will combine math and computer science, neuroscience, genetics, emergent properties science, psychology, and medicine. Intellectually I am up for anything, and going at it with someone passionate doubles my interest. I will graduate from Santa Clara University (SCU) with a BS in biology. I am thankful for my experience at SCU, especially for my opportunities to work closely with awesome professors on various research projects. These projects, pursued with Professors Birmingham, Brook, and Pedersen, have been the most important part of my education here.
