I'm a freshman at Columbia University studying computer science and biology to contribute to innovations in biochemistry.
I worked at the Rice University Biodesign Lab in synthetic biology research. Also, I founded Omelora, an education and wellness initiative raising school supplies, books, and care items for young people.
