My passion for biology stems from a deep curiosity about how biological processes and global health systems influence cognition, health, and human development. Through conducting research on the relationship between music education and adolescent cognitive function, I explored how attention, memory, and executive function are shaped by underlying biological mechanisms, strengthening my interest in experimental inquiry and evidence-based analysis.

 

I am particularly drawn to human biology and medical ethics, interests further developed through laboratory workshops, biomedical case studies, and hands-on scientific training in competitive university programmes.
