Plans
In the future, I hope to continue my education at a four-year university and beyond, studying both STEM and business simultaneously. I am really passionate about exploring how scientific innovation and business tactics can be combined to maximize impact. Eventually I hope to have a career as a medical entrepreneur who pioneers scientific discovery and also works to streamline accessibility so solutions can reach the lives they were created to change.
