My Passions
My dream is to make a positive impact by becoming a pediatric geneticist and finding cures for kids with rare conditions.
Genetics
Ever since I was 6 years old, I've been interested in genomics and genetics. What I find amazing about genetics is that we can do so much for people, and revolutionize the healthcare system. I currently work at the Broad Institute at Harvard /MIT as part of the Clinical Genomics research team. My recent book recommendation in this area is The Code Breaker by Walter Isaac.
Hearing Loss
I have hearing loss myself and have always been fascinated by how complex hearing loss is and how it can affect people differently.
Foreign Languages
I am fluent in English/French/Urdu and continue my explorations in other world languages.
Accolades
The Society of Torch and Laurel
As part of the Congress of Future Medical Leaders, I was inducted into the Society of Torch and Laurel, which accepts less than 5,000 scholars every year. It is an organization dedicated to helping high academic achievers in high school get access for scholarships into college, and there is a sibling organization called the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
I'm a competitive Hunters + Equitation rider. I do WTC, and Over Fences at the 15" level. My goals are to get to 3'6"-4' Over Fences!
Still fairly new at horseback riding my goal is to master this skill and become an active show jumper.
Camp New Horizons
I founded Camp New Horizon, a virtual summer camp in the summer of 2020 to help middle schoolers moving to high school be prepared for success. It was a failed startup but I learned a lot from this experience.
My explorations: Past and current
I was a part of The Knowledge Society, or TKS, for a year, where I got to do many great things such as do case studies, explore upcoming technology, and expand on new topics of interest. I became interested in AR/VR and got to expand on ideas with other teens who were like-minded.
