Summary
Born with a naturally curious mind, I am deeply passionate about understanding the scientific principles behind everyday objects and phenomena. At NYU, I have developed strong hands-on skills in the chemistry laboratory and gained valuable leadership and teamwork experience. I am excited to apply these skills to contribute to innovative and diverse projects—especially when it comes to formulation chemistry.
