I'm a nuclear engineering and radiological science major, minoring in physics at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I hope to take my degree and apply it towards some type of medical application. Radiation is used a lot in medicine, whether it be for treating cancer or imaging. I hope to help advance the field as we know it. I'm also super into computer science. I've had two internships so far. My first internship was in computational biology, where I got to use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to sequence protein structures.
It was a really great experience because I knew absolutely nothing about what NMR even was before starting and my mentors taught me everything along the way. Currently, I'm continuing an internship I had this summer where I'm working with ultrasound systems and programing an application to analyze their data for a medical application.

Careers in STEM, particularly computer science, open the doors to being able to innovate and create the world we live in. Steve Jobs said, "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it. You can influence it; you can build your own things that other people can use."
