What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine laboratory research or bioinformatics with community impact, where I can apply hands-on lab skills, analytical abilities, and cross-functional communication to contribute to scientific projects and outreach.

I am a Biology BS graduate from the University of California, Riverside with hands-on research experience in plant DNA splicing, tissue culture, and standard laboratory techniques, alongside strong technical proficiency in C++ and R. I have contributed to regulated lab workflows as a Research Assistant and applied analytical thinking and attention to detail to deliver reproducible results.

Outside the lab, I founded a nonprofit to support local communities during crises and work as a Marketing Assistant for a real estate brokerage, building transactional coordination, marketing media, and social presence to grow customer engagement. I bring a blend of scientific rigor, technical skills, and community-oriented leadership to roles that value interdisciplinary impact.
