About

Hello! My name is Olivia Kong, and I'm an undergraduate studying Chemical Biology at UC Berkeley. I'm passionate about how chemical properties of biological systems can be utilized to selectively combat disease. I'm currently seeking research opportunities, and hope to pursue a graduate degree in field adjacent to chemistry. Fun fact about me: I love the outdoors!
