About

I’m a biotechnology undergraduate with a deep-rooted passion for human development — not just in the lab, but also in lives. From mentoring students in complex biology to leading global teams in research competitions, my path blends science with people. Over the past few years, I’ve helped hundreds of students grow — through education, counseling, mentoring, and curriculum design. Whether it’s guiding someone through academic stress or interviewing candidates for research roles, I thrive where empathy meets structure. Through my work with BioLeague, Youth Science Journal, and my own research at Lumiere, I’ve built a foundation in leadership, interviewing, training, and student-centered development. Now, I’m pivoting my strengths toward HR, career counseling, and educational program building — where I can help people not just find jobs, but find direction. Let’s build futures with purpose — backed by science, driven by empathy.
