CURRENT MISSION

Trying to make every day count

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student studying Neuroscience at Columbia University in lovely New York City. I have been living here for almost 4 years. I grew up in California and the Philippines. Pretty far in between! I still don't know what I exactly want to do when I grow up, but I know I want to see the world while trying to figure it out.

PHILOSOPHY

Be a nice girl and make things better than they were before
