Marvin Center

Majoring in Chemistry
Georgia State University, Class of 2025
From Atlanta, GA

I am an undergraduate student researcher working as a Beckman Scholar. A dual major with a deep connection to languages and the arts, I am a well-rounded critical thinker with strong oral and written communication skills in both English and Spanish. I am currently enrolled in GSU's dual B.S./M.S. in Chemistry, working towards a successful scientific career in academia so that I can mentor and inspire a generation of future doctors, researchers, and scientists.
