- What was your favorite class and why?:
My favorite class is Fundamentals of Neurobiology!! I love a good 8:30 class! How it focused into higher cognitive processes and the mammalian nervous system really stole my heart. I loved how Dr. Hsu would relate all of our lessons to real life conditions and current research studies.

Between conducting radiation research through Rutgers’ IRT program and serving as a research assistant at Dr. Roth’s lab, i serve as an ambassador and peer mentor for the school of arts of sciences honors program. I also cannot go without playing intramural sports every semester!!
