About me: Hello! I'm a third-year neuroscience major minoring in neural computation & engineering. I'm interested in how machine learning can deepen our understanding of the brain and improve treatments for psychiatric disorders, and I'm planning to pursue an MD-PhD in computational psychiatry! I'm also the vice president of Husky Jam, an RSO that organizes on-campus live music events featuring student bands. In my free time, I love running, writing music, and discovering new cafes around Seattle. This is my first year as an Honors peer facilitator, and I'm so excited to help new students explore the many opportunities UW has to offer! Feel free to reach out!
