I am a junior at Rice University studying Biology and Health Policy. I aspire to be a physician-policy researcher who will advocate to create equal access to healthcare for all populations. Specifically, I am interested in social policy interventions to address health disparities.

Along the lines of health equity, I would like to contribute to the Wikipedia knowledge base on children with incarcerated parents. I am generally interested in how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) chronically affect children. If you are interested in learning about the specific contributions, please check out my sandbox.

In my free time I enjoy playing risk and strategy-based games such as poker and fantasy football. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas.
