I am a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying biomedical engineering and sports medicine. I have excelled both academically and athletically, and now I seek to excel and gain experience in research, as I hone in on my specific career goals and interests. I have prior experience working in a lab and demonstrate proficiency in the use of software such as MATLAB and Excel, and am very passionate about the impact of research on the actual practice of healthcare. Over the summer, I obtained my EMT certification and obtained key knowledge of the healthcare practice through my ambulance shadowing.
