Bio/CV: 

I'm majoring in Microbial Biology and am currently on the premed track with plans to hopefully matriculate into medical school and continue to do research after my time at UC Berkeley. Some of my hobbies are playing tennis and I love watching movies and films.

My current research interest is to see how CRISPR-Cas9 can be used to create a potential gene therapy that can be used to treat/cure those with Type 1 and 2 Diabetes.
