I am currently in the field of designing, developing, and testing robust and specific PCR/dPCR assays. Crafting innovative diagnostics solutions and witnessing the impact of our work is where my passion lies. Expanding my toolkit, I have enrolled in coding and database management courses, aimed at fostering adaptability and exploring new career avenues. Beyond my scientific pursuits, I'm driven by a profound curiosity and a desire to create transformative change. The idea of transitioning into new industries intrigues me. I'm all about leveraging my skills and knowledge to make a meaningful impact, no matter the domain. I cherish moments with family and friends, indulging in various sports to unwind. When I am not in the lab, diving into the underwater world and conquering rock walls via climbing and bouldering have been my recent adrenaline-packed adventures. Additionally, offering guidance and support to young minds is an endeavor close to my heart. I endeavor to share knowledge and support whenever possible. Volunteering at my church and planning events, particularly focusing on logistics and operations, has been both fulfilling and a means to contribute to causes I deeply care about. As I navigate this journey, merging science and technology innovation, I'm excited to explore new horizons and collaborate on ventures that redefine possibilities.
