Hello! Welcome to my personal site, where I showcase all the things I love to do.
For me there is nothing better than discovering or creating something from nothing - that's why I've found myself so drawn to both coding and scientific research ( and baking pastries! )
I love coding because it is so interdisciplinary - it has been the strong core across my research in physics and biology.
I'm graduating from Duke University in the spring, and looking for a unique new place of employment. Hoping my future coworkers share my joy for hiking and home-made macarons.
