Hi everyone! I'm in Princeton's class of 23 planning on studying Neuroscience and most likely looking into future careers at the intersection of medicine, community service, and/or technology (still exploring!). I learned a ton about the nonprofit world and fundraising research through my time at Puentes in the summer of 2020 and know those skills and knowledge will come in handy someday :). I'd love to connect with anyone and chat! I also enjoy practicing speaking my spanish so I'm down to chat in Spanish too for practice :)
