About

Advancing healthcare processes through innovative technologies has always been a passion of mine. Growing up, I was always drawn to STEM, curious to discover how and why things work. This curiosity, along with being exposed to the biomedical field at an early age, led me to pursue a major in Biomedical Engineering. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in key concepts in biomedical engineering, complemented by a minor in Data Analytics. Proficient in programming languages such as R and Python, I am adept at leveraging data-driven insights to enhance decision-making processes.
