Hey y'all! I'm really excited to be one of your CAs this year! My concentration explored the intersections between neuroscience and computer science. I was particularly interested in how modern advances in computer science could be applied to better understand and develop treatments for challenges related to the brain. I loved how the HumBio major gave me the freedom to learn about this by taking courses from a variety of departments and perspectives. I was able to apply a lot of what I learned to my research with the Wyss-Coray lab studying the role of a novel type of microglia in Alzheimer's disease. At Stanford, I also staffed at the Bridge Peer Counseling Center (an incredible resource to check out), helped facilitate a brain injury support group, volunteered as an EMT, and was involved with the pre-med APAMSA chapter. Beyond that, I love listening to K-pop, buying new skin care products, swimming, and traveling. I'm also trying to learn to cook better (if anyone has tips or suggestions). During my sophomore year, the CAs were definitely one of my favorite parts of the core, so I'm looking forward to being a part of this journey for you all as well!
