Biography

Originally from Los Angeles, I moved to San Francisco for my undergraduate studies in Data Science and also spent a semester abroad in Tokyo. With many friends and family working in healthcare, I've always understood the system's challenges, which led me towards data science with an interest in medicine and healthcare. Currently, I am working with the PECARN dataset to analyze clinical decision rules for assessing children at very low risk for intra-abdominal injuries during acute interventions.

Goals for the Future

 I aim to secure a role where I can directly influence improvements in the healthcare industry for both patients and physicians. Additionally, I would like to travel to all seven continents before I turn 30!
