About Me
I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. I recently graduated from Stanford, where I studied Human Biology and Computer Science. Currently, I'm based in the Bay Area.
My mission is to integrate medicine and technology to improve human health. At Stanford, my research focused on the neuroplasticity of eye movement control, informing potential therapies for cerebellar disorders. Now, I'm leveraging my computational skills at Codex Health, creating technologies to improve chronic disease management.
