About Me
I am a freshman at Duke University. I was born in Munich, Germany, and have family both in Germany and Brazil. I moved to the United States when I was really young, and have (for the most part) assimilated to the American culture. I'm hoping to become an American citizen very soon...(!). During middle school I lived in Shanghai for two years, during which I gained so much experience and fell in love with learning about cultures of the world, so I'm hoping to fill my college career with plenty of "global" activities to project that passion. We moved back to the United States so that I could go to high school near Chicago. During the summer of 2011, we moved once more--to Charlotte; I'm not too far from my family, which to me, is the most important aspect of my life.

I plan to major in biomedical engineering, with a minor in Chinese. What I plan to do with that . . . is still a mystery.

Grand Challenges for Engineering Articles
I'm really interested in the Grand Challenge relating to engineering better medicines. Our world's technological advance is so rapid, and I believe that modern medicine needs to implement that change in order to become effective for the human population.
