Cancer Chemical Biology PhD Student at Moffitt Cancer Center
University of Tampa Alumnus - Class of 2019. B.S in Biochemistry - ASBMB Certified. Currently working as a Cancer Chemical biology PhD student at Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. I want to specialize in structural biology and the use of protein engineering to generate biologics in order to fight cancer.

I am Fond of learning new languages. I believe that, in order to learn a new language, you also have to learn about the culture and customs of the people that speak that language. I also believe that learning about new cultures is crucial in this era of globalization because it provides me with a clear view of modern society. I am currently fluent in Spanish and English, and I am functionally fluent in Italian.
