About Me
Welcome to my page! I am a freshmen pursuing biomedical engineering at Duke University. I am fascinated by the intersection of biology and emerging fields such as tissue engineering and computation, and I hope to use design to facilitate more effective scientific communication. My hobbies include travelling, playing music (mostly piano), and doing DIY projects and crafts.
