I always found the world fascinating, but physics once felt abstract and hard. Learning the right techniques showed me its beauty. I study physics to share that excitement and make it more approachable to the next generation.
I’m most passionate about uncovering the hidden patterns that explain how the universe works. I love taking something that seems complicated or abstract and breaking it down until it makes sense — turning confusion into clarity is very rewarding.
I plan to pursue a Ph.D. in chemical engineering and either teach at the university level or work in industry, using my knowledge to inspire others, advance research, and solve real-world problems.
I’m currently working on research with my professor focused on nanoparticles, exploring their unique properties and potential applications. This project is helping me develop hands-on skills and a deeper understanding of cutting-edge science.
