Scholar Description

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, Spanish and also completed a Master of Business Administration. I had the opportunity to study abroad, where I became interested in combining my varied interests through research. As a PREP Scholar, I will be working in Dr. Gullapalli's laboratory researching gallbladder and hepatocellular cancer biology. During my free time I enjoy volunteering, DIY projects, drawing, and traveling. My current research interests are within Cancer Biology.
