Learning & Sharing Knowledge

I have a deep passion for learning new things and sharing what I discover with others. There's something incredibly rewarding about taking a complex topic, breaking it down, and helping someone else understand it. Whether it's writing blog posts about diseases and medical breakthroughs, creating educational resources for communities that need them, tutoring classmates, or just having late-night conversations about ideas that fascinate me, I believe knowledge grows when it's shared.

This love for learning is what draws me to the intersection of computational biology, therapeutic development, and healthcare access. I want to understand disease at a molecular level, to dig into the mechanisms and pathways that drive illness. But understanding alone isn't enough. I'm equally passionate about making sure that knowledge actually reaches the people who need it most. That's why I work on projects like Just a Call Away, creating multilingual health resources for immigrant communities, and why I'm interested in research that can translate into real-world treatments. For me, the most meaningful work happens when deep scientific understanding meets genuine human impact.
