About
I am a 4th year undergraduate student majoring in Bioengineering (with a Mechanical Engineering technical breadth) and Life Sciences (still undeclared). Before moving to LA for university, I was originally from South Bay Area. In Dr. Hsu's lab, I am working on an AHA Long Covid project where I characterize the mechanistic role that viral fragments of SARS-CoV-2 play on endothelial cell inflammation. As an extension of my role in this project, I am also training to provide clinical research services where I coordinate appointments with patients to enroll them into this study and retrieve samples. Outside of Dr. Hsu’s research, I participate in population health research as part of Stanford’s CARE Scholars program. At UCLA, organizations I partake in include BMES, EMRA, and CityLab. In my spare time, I like to play board games, volleyball, and fuseball with family and friends. Other things I do for fun include making vlogs, hosting presentation nights, and watching Modern Family religiously.
