All About Me

I am a junior Biology and Forensic Science double major with a minor in Medical Humanities and Health Studies. I am on a pre-med track and am hoping to work in pediatrics in the future. I am also involved in several clubs on campus including Regatta and Jagathon, IUPUI's Dance Marathon. I am on the Executive Board for Jagathon this year as the Director of High School Dance Marathons and will be serving as the Vice President of Membership for Jagathon 2025. Being involved in Jagathon as well as having a passion for pediatric healthcare drove me to become a volunteer at Riley Hospital for Children this past year. I am from St. Louis, Missouri and I am pretty involved in the community there as well. I work at The Magic House, a children's museum, as an Assistant Floor Manager and am also involved in volunteering events. This year I am participating in the Life Health Sciences Internship (LHSI) program at IUPUI and will be working in Dr. Loghmani's research lab, where she studies regenerative medicine. I am so excited about this amazing opportunity!

Outside of work and academics, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy participating in volunteering events to better my community and shadowing physicians to get a deeper understanding of medicine.
