I am double majoring in Biochemistry and Microbiology with a minor in Chemistry. I have been very fortunate to get involved in research as a Freshman and it has been the highlight of my college experience. I have found that I love research, and my dream is to get a Ph.D. in Synthetic Biology to provide and expand therapies that combat diseases. I love OSU, and I am the biggest Mike Boynton fan. Go Pokes!
