ABOUT MYSELF
I am currently a rising senior at UNC Chapel Hill double majoring in Biostatistics, B.S.P.H. and Mathematics, B.S. with a minor in Chemistry.
I have been working at UNC BRAIN Lab in the Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) as a Undergraduate Research Assistant since September 2021. Currently, I am also working as an intern at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. During regular semesters, I work as a Lab Assistant for BIOL 252L: Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab. I have been volunteering at the Emergency Department at UNC Hospitals since January 2023.
In my free time, I enjoy snowboarding, badminton, cooking Chinese food, and photography.
I am looking for a Ph.D. position starting in Fall 2025.
