Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi, my name is Patrick and I’m a freshman at Yale College. I’m originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I’m planning to major in either cognitive or political science while taking classes on the pre-med track. Outside of class, I love playing and watching soccer (my favorite team is Liverpool), skiing, and scuba diving. I’m excited to help out with Yale Sprout this year and share my interest in STEM and social science!
