I’m a junior at Del Norte High School with a growing research identity shaped by work across biomedical science, neuroscience, and computational biology.

I’ve conducted wet‑lab experimentation at UCSD, built neuro/biotech models through AGI‑26, supported assay development at AxisPharm, and contributed to applied AI evaluation at Kwaai AI. These experiences have given me exposure to genetic circuit testing, biomarker workflows, and data‑driven approaches used in modern research environments.

My projects have strengthened my interest in how molecular mechanisms, biological systems, and computational tools can be used to understand health and disease. I’m especially drawn to translational work that connects experimental findings to clinical questions, and to research that supports more equitable access to diagnostics and care.

As I continue developing my scientific foundation, I hope to pursue the pre‑med track, integrating research, clinical practice, and patient‑centered problem‑solving. My goal is to build a career where scientific inquiry directly informs better health outcomes and more accessible care.

What I Bring

Research skills across disciplines: Hands-on experience in wet-lab synthetic biology (iGEM biosensors), analytical chemistry (chromatography at AxisPharm), neuroscience (EEG research), and AI (DreamRAG at Kwaai AI).

Leadership that produces results: As California Chapter President of MadHatters Knits, I built hospital and corporate partnerships behind donation of over 3000+ beanies for NICUs.

Clear communication: I’ve presented research to global neuroscience and AI audiences, led Human Practices at iGEM, and coached middle-school Science Olympiad teams with a custom curriculum.

Long-term commitment to service: Over 4 years with Akshaya Patra, five years promoting mental-health resources at Oak Valley Middle and Del Norte High School, and recognition through the President’s Volunteer Service Award, the Congressional Award, and the California Legislature Assembly.

Discipline and teamwork: Ten years of Kathak training, three years of varsity badminton, and HOSA leadership have taught me to practice consistently and work with a team.
