Deeply passionate about Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience, I am a first-generation, second-year pre-dental student at the University of Florida. My academic pursuits center around unraveling the intricate processes of the brain and their intersection with nutritional science. Particularly interested in how these factors contribute to overall physical and mental health, as well as community well-being. Alongside my academic endeavors, I have gained valuable experience in the service industry, honing communication skills and developing a strong sense of empathy through interactions with diverse clientele. Additionally, I have dedicated significant time to volunteering in community outreach programs, focusing on supporting low-income populations and children. These experiences solidified my commitment to improving health outcomes and advocating for better access to nutritional resources in underserved communities.
