Science
I am a Biophysics PhD student at Stanford University. My work is supported by a Knight-Hennessy Scholarship and a Ford Fellowship.
In 2021, I completed an MSc by Research in Statistics at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Before that, I completed my BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Chapman University.
The end goal of my work is to alleviate human suffering from disease.
Poetry
In addition to my scientific work, I also write poetry - which I communicate through music or spoken word. I create multi-modal pieces by coupling poems with photography or art.
I released my debut album in 2023, where I describe the set of circumstances that almost led me to take my own life. I am now working on a narrative spoken word anthology.
For me, poetry is not only a means of actualizing growth but also the medium by which I choose to share my story with others.
