- What other Rutgers activities and extracurricular activities do you participate in?:
At Rutgers, I am a two-time participant of the DLS SURF program which occurs over the summer where we have the opportunity to research with a faculty member and present our findings in an end-of-program symposium. Outside of research, I am also a part of the College Avenue Players (CAP) club where I act in plays and produce mini scripts! In my free time, I like to make digital animations and perform slam poetry!
