About

As someone who plans to attend medical school, the intersection between science and ethics is very important to me. There are many conversations to have about this topic to achieve a balance and understanding between the two disciplines. I was drawn to the Science and the Common Good because it allows me to pursue that balance and questions of it.

Research

I have been in a research lab since my sophomore year. I worked under both Dr. Beth Bailey and Dr. Jennifer King. I have just recently finished summer fellows. I have done multiple XLP requirements. Last summer, I worked in a pharmacy and was able to explore the ethical and business factors that exist in the pharmacy, and healthcare at large.
