Brief Biographical Sketch:

As a sophomore at Yale studying Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, I love finding ways to share my passion for science with others. In the lab, I work on exciting projects like developing vaccines and creating new surgical tools, while also serving as News Editor at Yale Scientific Magazine and helping the Pharmacy Department at HAVEN Free Clinic. I've also helped develop artificial muscles that led to a patent! But what I enjoy most is breaking down complex scientific topics into fun, understandable lessons. I'm thrilled to be part of Yale Splash because it lets me combine my love for science and teaching - I can't wait to share how the concepts you learn in class connect to real breakthroughs happening right here at Yale!
