For as long as I can remember, my interests have leaned toward the medical field. From interning at a biotech company to working in the hospital’s cardiovascular and neurological departments, my passion for biomedical technology has only increased over time. My current dream is to bring together medicine and technology so as to treat and prevent previously incurable diseases, achieve healthy longevity, and improve QOL. In the future, I hope to create medical innovations and lead interdisciplinary global collaborations, consequently pursuing the actualization of human health and welfare.
