Summary
Dynamic undergraduate student with vast experience competing in and coaching competitive debate, with a great interest in the natural sciences. I have in-depth lab experience studying anti-bacterial resistance and over a year of coding experience in multiple languages. My primary passion and strength is science communication, wherein I seek to simplify explanations of dense research and concepts so more can understand the science of everyday life.
