Emi is a junior majoring in Biomedical Sciences with a special interest in social-behavioral sciences. Outside of the classroom, Emi works as a scribe at several cardiology clinics, coordinates lab activities, and volunteers in the community. Planning to attend medical school within the next two years, Emi is motivated by experiences growing up in a mixed-race household, which provided insight into the unique challenges people of color face in medicine and healthcare. Emi hopes to help erase these barriers and promote equity in patient care.

In free time, Emi enjoys searching for trinkets, watching anime, reading manga, and going for long walks.
