Plans
I had difficulty deciding between pursuing Engineering or Law, but I discovered I could technically go to school for both. Since a Law degree requires that I first get a Bachelor’s, I intend on first getting a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, and then going on to attend Law School. This will open up more opportunities in both fields; so it’s the current plan, but I may end up completely changing my mind in the future!

Throughout my life and study, I have valued the integration of diverse subjects, including biology/chemistry, economics, and computer science, towards my goal of addressing child mental health. I would like to explore the vast interdisciplinary field of public health to fulfill my specific interest at the confluence of neuropsychology, behavioral science, and computer science. In the future I hope to innovate and ultimately start a business to support mental health.
