Junior, Chemistry / Computer Sciences

Growing up, math and science always came relatively easily to me, but it wasn’t until late middle school that I realized my passion for science in particular. In high school, this passion narrowed to chemistry and specifically doing lab work. I found doing different experiments to be very interesting, and most times, a lot of fun. I plan to pursue a doctorate at Caltech and work for NASA as a chemist.

Junior, Biology

Ever since I was little, I have always been interested by the diverse living phenomena all around us. This interest reached new heights when I took college-level science classes in high school, and I have been fascinated by biology ever since. Research particularly interests me because it allows us to use our discoveries for the benefit of the world. Outside of academics, I am a second-degree black belt in a traditional Korean martial art known as Tang Soo Do. My long term goals are to become a medical doctor and earn a master’s belt in Tang Soo Do.

This may be you!
