Hi, I am a member of Columbia University's Class of 2027. I am passionate about topics at the intersection between economics and political science, my scope is usually focused on the U.S. but I am excited to gain a more international perspective! I have lived most of my life in the South of the U.S. and I am very proud to come from a Hispanic cultural background. In my free time, I enjoy exploring New York City or relaxing in my room with a good book (my current favorite author is Ocean Vuong).  Please reach out if my work interests you! I would love to discuss it and any related topics.

I am a sophomore at Columbia University, intending on majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior on the pre-med track. Throughout my four years of high school, I conducted research related to social science, depression, and animal behavior, and I am currently exploring behavioral and computational neuroscience research at the Columbia University Medical Center. I have received many awards for my research, such as becoming a 2023 ISEF Finalist to represent NYC. Outside of science, I am a published storyteller and poet on Teen Vogue, Green Asia Network, and the NYPL.
