I'm Jennifer, a rising senior from the Bay Area, California:) I'm in the molecular biology department on the pre-med track, and am pursuing minors in neuroscience and cognitive science. On campus, I do wet lab research in Professor Kang's breast cancer lab, work as a strategy associate for the nonprofit tutoring organization Hatch, and am a UCA for organic chem. I also sing in the Princeton Glee Club and cook in the International Food Co-op! In my free time, I enjoy long-distance running all around Princeton and baking with friends.

Favorite memory from my first year at Princeton:  My favorite memory would probably have been at the end of my fall semester, when my friends and I went to see the decorated Christmas tree for the first time and got Bent Spoon in the freezing cold :)

Princeton class that shaped the way I think and why:  I really enjoyed the comp lit class COM351: Great Books from Little Languages I took in my junior fall. In the course, we read a variety short novels, all of which were originally written in less-read languages then translated to English. With Professor Bellos' personal anecdotes and familiarity with each text, our discussions in precept were always filled with a variety of thoughtful and different perspectives, and we were pushed to be creative with the papers we had to write.
