Biography
Fun Fact: I baked over 200 kg of cookies this past summer
I was born in New York and raised in Florida. I plan to major in computer science and economics while pursuing a pre-med track, with a focus on healthcare economics. I’m eager to explore my interests through the PSP program, find a research project that aligns with my passions, and connect with others who share similar goals. In my free time, I enjoy playing pickleball and basketball, as well as experimenting with new recipes.
Research
This past summer, I worked with faculty at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons on research exploring the relationship between sleep patterns and dietary habits. I contributed to collecting and interpreting large datasets, which highlighted the complexity of linking lifestyle behaviors to measurable health impacts. One key takeaway from this experience was realizing just how much data exists in the world, and how critical it is to not only gather it but also interpret it thoughtfully to draw meaningful conclusions about human health.
