About

I am a highly motivated sophomore at Duke University with passion for pharmacology and cancer biology. At Duke, my coursework in Biology and Chemistry coupled with research experiences at Brown and Yale Universities have equipped me with a solid foundation in the sciences. Besides the sciences, I am involved in the Finance field, hoping to combine these academic areas in the future. I actively engage in various academic and artistic extracurricular activities and leadership roles. I serve as the Vice President of Duke Latin American Student Organization, the Graphic Design Chair for Duke University Union and Duke Student Government, engaging with the Latin Business Organization, and volunteering for Duke LDOC committee as their graphic design chair; my commitment to engaging with the community is evident.
