Although I'm studying biochemistry and the majority part of my life is stem focused, I think human connections are significant. The encounter with another individual is always almost welcoming and inspiring and the encounter is beyond meeting in person. An episode of podcasts is almost the perfect narrative of a glance of an individual's life. As someone who is standing in the crossroad of life, another individual's journey has always conveyed me with an optimistic perspective, injected her/his/their enthusiasm, and prompted me to make better efforts. The strength within every individual is impactful and the exchange of the strength within the storytelling and creativity is what really matters, I think. And I have been putting faith in it for a while. Through collaboration with The Creative Process, I am learning more about non-profit operations and development; furthermore, via the engagement on podcasts and interviews, I am gaining experience in production and bringing varied perspectives to more individuals.

I'm part-time working with Development and Alumane Relations at Barnard this summer and volunteering at Math Mentors until the end of June (Math Mentors is a free tutoring program for six-graders who don't have enough resources in our community). My plans for the future are probably non-profit, public health and medicine related. Regarding public health, I'm interested in the health care system and international relations within. I think there's so much we could learn from one another and I truly believe through collaboration, not only within the States, internationally, we will come out stronger. And regarding medicine, it is an ongoing process and I haven't really set my mind on medical schools yet.
