I am a first year medical student in the MD/PhD program at the University of Florida. I love to read scientific literature, but all the science jargon can for sure dampen my enjoyment at times. Seeing as I’ve always been passionate about science and writing, MicroBites provides a perfect opportunity for me to make science more accessible to everyone. When not studying or writing, you can find me outside either playing literally any sport or exploring nature and if I’m not there, I’m probably eating which I love to do as well.
