How I got into science

My earliest memory of science was with my dad, who loved to build RC helicopters. In our basement, he would show me how he connected all the wires and placed them within the helicopter, and to the best of his ability, explain how electricity works to an elementary schooler. Thus, began my journey into science, trying to understand how or why things work.

Non-science biography

Growing up, music has been such an integral part of my life. It all started when I saw my older brother join the school orchestra. I begged my parents to let me start lessons and the rest is history. Outside of music, I also played tennis which has now translated into a big love for pickleball.
