About

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neurobiology and Behavior. Outside of the classroom, I was a member of the Varsity Track and Field team, where I participated in the long and triple jump as well as short sprints. My tenacious passion for learning about various people, sports, and interests allows me a whole new perspective on life. I'm excited to connect and apply a unique mindset to science, finance, or sports!
