My interest in science was influenced by my parents and the amazing teachers I’ve had since elementary school. Science is like a puzzle. It excites me because the number of ways to solve the puzzle is never limited to a single path. … It is my goal to pursue a M.D./Ph.D. degree. I believe that a combination of degrees will make me a stronger scientist and perform research in the medical field with an advanced knowledge of biochemistry. I hope that the research I perform in the future will lead to the development of new treatments for disease.
