Major: Biomedical Engineering
Why I Chose Northwestern:
When I heard that Northwestern’s informal motto was “AND is in our DNA” I realized that we share a genetic code. I was drawn to their practice of ‘whole brain engineering’, as someone passionate about bridging the gap between healthcare and affordability. I believe that studying under the ‘whole brain engineering’ approach will make me grow as a multifaceted thinker, and enable me to create lasting change in the fields I enter.
What I plan to do after graduation:
I aspire to have a career in industry research, focused on tissue engineering/regenerative medicine.
