I chose physics because I ask, “Why?” too much. I wondered how things work. I wanted to understand the fundamentals.
I want to go on and earn a Ph.D. in Physics.
I was awarded two prestigious awards to do summer research in physics. I went to Harvard for the summer and learned modeling and data analysis with theory in astrophysics.
This award allowed me to travel to conferences and connect; it allowed me to focus on my research.
