Driven by a dual background in Biological Sciences and Finance. Currently serving as Class President at IU School of Dentistry, bridging academic rigor with student advocacy and research innovation.
My journey into dentistry is built on a foundation of diverse academic excellence, from graduating Magna Cum Laude in Biology at Purdue to studying Finance at IU Bloomington.
I am passionate about research—having investigated fluoride migration and neural signaling—and leadership, currently serving as the D1 Class President and active representative for ASDA, ADEA, and SNDA.
