Here in Honors I… assist students in academic planning and offer guidance to help them pursue their professional objectives both virtually and in-person. Additionally, I offer assistance to the Honors staff by contributing to a range of special projects and assisting with day-to-day organizational tasks.

I like thinking about & studying… biochemistry! I am fascinated with the intricacies of metabolic reactions taking place within our bodies. It’s truly captivating to witness the complex dance of non-sentient molecules orchestrating the essential processes that sustain life. Additionally, I’m interested in researching the different pedagogical methods throughout history and incorporating effective styles into the different classes I facilitate.

My first week in college… I bid “farewell” to my parents and proceeded to the adjacent room to zoom into my first set of classes. It was a unique experience, considering that I was situated almost 13 hours away from the University of Washington, and I had never set foot on campus due to the COVID.
