\nIf you could share a meal with any 4 individuals, living or dead, who would they be?<\/strong> Cristiano Ronaldo (GOAT), Isaac Newton, Shah Rukh Khan, and Barack Obama.<\/span>
\nOn a scale of 1-10, how funny would you say you are?<\/strong> I would say a solid 8. When I am not working or studying, I like to joke around with friends and family.<\/span>
\nIf you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?<\/strong> I would love to live in Madrid, Spain. I grew up watching my favorite soccer team Real Madrid on the TV, and being able to watch the games from the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u would be great. There is also a nice work-life balance there and vibrant cultural scene.<\/span>
\nWhat is one piece of advice you wish you were given or known about starting at a new university?<\/strong> Don’t be afraid to ask for help early on and keep an open mind about your path. Transferring to BU was a major transition, especially when it came to navigating my academic and career goals. I initially entered on a pre-med track, but after realizing clinical hospital work wasn’t for me, I discovered a genuine passion for research. Reaching out to professors, peers, and advisors made all the difference in helping me pivot, find clarity, and build my place here.<\/span><\/p>\n
