Hobbies
I am a college student who enjoys helping others! Helping someone understand a concept is one of the most rewarding feelings. I am very passionate about science. Every Wednesday during the school year, I research pharmacological modulators of cervical and head and neck cancer at the University of Chicago. I also love swimming and swim competitively for my high school during the fall. I currently teach swim lessons to kids ages 4-10 and am currently a lifeguard. At school, I am involved in Student Council, Yearbook, SCS (Student Computing Services), and am a coordinator for ALI (Aurora Leadership Institute).
