Bio/Description

Hello, and welcome to the best college of Princeton University! Students from other colleges identify our one-of-a-kind backyard, our unbeatable weekend brunches, or our unparalleled peaceful surroundings as what makes Forbes different from the rest. But it's you and the people here that make Forbes uniquely amazing! 

A bit about me: I am a junior majoring in Molecular Biology (MOL) with minors in Bioengineering and Global Health Policy (GHP) as I work toward my next goal of attending medical school. I am extremely passionate about helping others, which has led me to engage in various activities on campus from peer tutoring to co-starting and leading free kidney disease screenings for central New Jersey. I love running, doing lab work, and, as much as I can, just enjoying the company of my incredible friends and peers. Whether you have a question about volunteering, being pre-med, undergraduate research, campus jobs, or where to find nutritious food for free, Room 158 (first floor of the New Wing) will always welcome you. I am beyond excited to see you around your new home away from home.
