Summary
Biochemistry major at Lake Forest College combining academic excellence, clinical experience, and a deep commitment to community service.

As a student-athlete on the NCAA Foresters hockey team, I exemplify the ability to balance high-performance academics, athletic commitment, and meaningful community engagement. My interdisciplinary approach combines scientific inquiry with a genuine passion for health, ecology, and social inclusion.
