<aside> 👋🏾 I am 19 years old and studying neuro + phil in Boston. Most of my background is in the intersection between neuroscience and engineering. However, for the past few months, I have been diving deep into web3 and crypto field.

In the past I have interned a various labs (influenza and pneumonia lab), and done consulting projects with companies like TechStars Boston and Kidogo, and built machine learning modes to help all the way from providing recommendations to hypertension patients to diagnosing pneumonia with chest x-rays.

Currently I am interning at the **Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Harvard** where I am working with fMRI + optogenetics. Also doing some work for a neuroscience lab looking at the role of circular RNA and its role in aging.
