About

Passionate about applying biological research to real-world healthcare challenges, with a strong interest in skin biology. As an undergraduate researcher at the Whitchurch Lab, I am evaluating PCR-based methods to screen clinical and environmental Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. As president of my school’s academic club, I enjoy spearheading professional development and well-being initiatives to support my peers.
