Welcome to the HumBio Core — I’m so excited to meet you all! When I was a HumBio student, I concentrated in the Global Health Impacts of Infectious Diseases, where I got to learn about topics like epidemiology, virology, and health equity. During my time at Stanford, I did research at the King Center for Global Development, where I worked on projects at the intersection of gender, infectious diseases, and violent conflict. I also got the chance to work in a lab that focused on neonatal metabolic health. Outside of classes, I loved teaching local high school students through Perfusion, being a science reporter for the Stanford Daily, and taking creative writing classes. I also got the chance to study abroad at Oxford, where I studied the History of Medicine, and in Washington, DC, where I worked at the World Bank. I hope to someday become a pediatric surgeon or neonatologist, and I love to play tennis and watch Grey’s Anatomy in my free time!
