I’m a fourth year undergraduate student at the University of Chicago studying Quantitative Biology and Data Science.
Currently, I am a teaching assistant for an upper level bio-math class, and team captain of the varsity diving team.
My interests lie within bioinformatics and genomics, and I have experience with the data science pipeline as well as DNA/protein sequence data analysis.
Currently, I’m looking to expand my analytical and research skills within bioinformatics.
