View Profile

I'm a high school senior from Illinois. I work as a biochemistry researcher and have presented my first-author research at undergraduate research symposiums. I specialize in enzymology with a focus on in vitro kinetics assay characterization and serve as my lab's technical advisor on kinetics assays. I scored a 5 on AP biology and AP chemistry self-studying as a freshman, am an AIME qualifer, scored 1550+ SAT, perfect PSAT, and also have two years worth of credits through dual enrollment each for computer science (T10 university) and molecular biology. I enjoy quizbowl (top 10 nationally) and tennis. Here to help with everything STEM.
