Major: Statistical Science

Research Project: My research project focuses on quantifying the speed of reactions that occur between prodrugs and prodrug fragments being developed in the lab and β-Lactamase to better understand the effects of specific fragments on the activation energy, with a general goal of achieving higher enzymatic turnover with time.

Personal Bio: Outside of classes and lab, I work part-time as an EMT and enjoy being able to care for and learn from a wide variety of patients. In my free time, I enjoy dancing on Duke Ishq, binge-watching a new TV show, or grabbing coffee with a friend.
