Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I'm Justin Kung, a first-year at Yale University planning on studying Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. I hail from the small city of Diamond Bar, California, where I frequent boba shops and the gym. Besides academics, I'm also passionate about mixed martial arts, spikeball, student government, and volunteering. I'm also a member of the Magic Castle Junior Society in Hollywood, where I've been on America's Got Talent before as an assistant. Besides these, I've also had a short Amazon FBA e-commerce phase, and am now attempting to teach myself options trading.
