The Milstein Program has enabled me to explore the intersection of technology and the humanities in the context of my interests in healthcare. For example, I worked on a project within the Milstein Program in which I used genetic databases to search for polymorphisms related to Type 2 diabetes. Currently, I’m working on cancer vaccine research in the Jiang Lab, and my goal is to pursue medical school. Outside the lab, I volunteer at the Cayuga Medical Center, which has been a great way to connect with patients and see how the work we do in the lab can make a real difference. I’m passionate about blending medical technology with a human touch in medicine, aiming for healthcare that’s both innovative and compassionate. When I’m not busy with school or research, I love to crochet, spend time with my dog, and play the violin!
