Summary

I am passionate about creating a difference in the world, especially for underprivileged communities, by using technology and science as leverage to achieve this. My desire to study biology and, later, its practical applications is founded on this noble cause.

I am enthusiastic, open-minded, adaptive to different environments, and good at employing critical thinking in dealing with bigger problems. I equally possess good communication skills enhanced by my debate and writing experience.
