Leadership
Leading with Purpose: Key Leadership Roles and Impact
Public health perfectly combines my interest in biology with my commitment to expanding healthcare access, helping more people improve their quality of life. I aspire to tackle health challenges holistically—addressing physical, mental, and emotional aspects—while also focusing on social justice and policy to build healthier, more equitable communities. Through my involvement in activities like SNP-REACH and the Epidemically Club at school, I have been able to deepen my passion for public health, continuously learning about the field while also educating others along the way.
Founder & President
As the Founder and President of the Epidemically Club at Castro Valley High School, I am responsible for managing all aspects of the club's operations. This includes organizing and leading club meetings, maintaining an active social media presence to engage with members and the school community, coordinating educational workshops and events, and overseeing the development of our article-based website. My role also involves collaborating with club members to generate new ideas, ensure smooth execution of initiatives, and foster a space where we can explore and raise awareness about public health issues.

Epidemically
On the right, you'll find a collection of articles I’ve written through my club at Castro Valley high. They are on the field of epidemiology and its impact across various social areas and research topics. Each article offers insights into how epidemiology deepens our understanding of diverse health challenges, guiding evidence-based solutions for a healthier, more informed future.
Biotechnology
During my junior year, I took Biotechnology and gained proficiency in a variety of lab techniques, including micro-pipetting (P-20, P-200, P-1000), Spectrophotometry, Chromatography, Electrophoresis, and PCR. A field trip to Genentech, a leading biotech company, gave me the chance to see these processes applied on a much larger scale, broadening my perspective on research and its real-world impact.
Coursera
To deepen my passion for Public Health and Physiology, I enrolled in courses from Yale, the University of Toronto, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My goal wasn’t to earn certifications, but to genuinely expand my knowledge in areas I care about. These courses had a lasting impact: the Epidemiology and Global Health course inspired me to start a club chapter at my school, while the Physical Therapy course provided valuable insights for my internship at Unicare Physical Therapy.
