About

I am student in the Vagelos Life Sciences & Management (LSM) program at the University of Pennsylvania. I study entrepreneurship and computational/mathematical biology. I am interested in entrepreneurship and view it as a opportunity to bring breakthrough scientific innovations into the consumer markets. One problem I hope to solve is to make the health care industry fairer. There can be many medical innovations, but the majority doesn’t benefit if they can’t access it. I believe good businesses should have a triple bottom line, considering social impact and environmental responsibility in addition to profits. As a student, I am an overthinker, someone who dives into rabbit holes easily. I like to explore a breadth of subjects ranging from economics, linguistics, philosophy, engineering, to all domains of science. I am also an avid reader and casual chess player.
