Summary
I'm a third year student currently majoring in Biology and ultimately interested in becoming a doctor. I'm a hardworker when it comes to academics, but also strive to have a good balance with other activities. I have a deep interest in the sciences and have been involved in some research to further my understanding of the practical sciences as well as being involved in some pretty cool research in the cardiology field. I'm also in the process of memorizing the quran, which is another goal of mine which I hope to finish sometime in the near future.
