With parents that are physicians, I was inclined to become a physician at a very young age. Not long after, I started also dabbling in computers and programming, which ultimately led me to pursue a Biomedical Engineering degree at BU. This degree afforded me the flexibility of combining my interests in physiology, engineering, and medicine. More recently, after starting medical school at BUSM, I serendipitously found a position at the Morphable Biorobotics Lab, which I currently work in now.
