It was also extremely rewarding to be able to work on protein modeling for Science Olympiad - how I could replicate what I learned and teach that to my peers. And actually building it with a set allowed me to feel like this was the final solidifying piece to my research project in 10th grade.

Other cool things about yourself: I also worked with Professor Liang at UC Riverside over a patent for an idea for smoke alarms for the hearing impaired. I have a bunch of non science stuff, for example: I have a magazine with an ISSN number.

Future Plans: I probably will be a financial engineer, maybe work in Silicon Valley. I may go for business management or administration in a high tech company.
