Senior Generative Editor

Baltimore, Maryland

Class: 2023

Major: Pre-Medical Post-Bac

Grey Matters’ is a space and community where I can explore neuroscience through conversations with people who can think abstractly about something seemingly rigid! I cherish this community, as it’s one of the few spaces where I can explore science with my peers in ways our classes often cannot facilitate.
