About
I am currently a 4th year student majoring in psychobiology. I grew up in Irvine, California. Currently at the Demer-Tintut Laboratory, I study the effects of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on both spontaneous and TNF-a-induced osteoblastic differentiation and calcification of mouse aortic smooth muscle cells. I have loved my experience thus far exploring and contributing to the research aspects of medicine and want to continue doing research in my future professional career. I am currently on the pre-med track at UCLA and my professional goal is to become a physician. In my free time, I like to go on walks around Westwood, go to the beach, cliff jump, and get boba with friends!
