Hi! I am a fourth-year student at UC Merced pursuing a B.S. in Biological Sciences, conducting an honors thesis research in the SHARPP Lab focusing on health psychology and behavioral factors influencing early childhood oral healthcare. Before joining the SHARPP Lab, I gained professional experience working as a Healthcare Effectiveness Data Information Set administrative intern at Vivant Health, focusing on quality assurance and data reconciliation. 

 

My academic path has taken me all across the globe, from studying abroad in Singapore to completing a medical shadowing program in Croatia. Outside of preparing for dental school, when I’m not deep into research or hitting the courts with the tennis team, you can usually find me chilling with my cat.
