Hey there! I’m a freshman in the Class of 2028 at Augustana College, diving into biochemistry on a pre-medicine track. Originally from Kenya, I bring a unique vibe to campus life. I love balancing my scientific interests with my creative side—whether I’m in the lab or trying to play my acoustic guitar. I play piano too! (I'm not very good at either, though.)
Writing has always been my go-to escape, and I'm excited to get back into it after a short break. I’m a huge reader, devouring everything from novels to webtoons and manga—if it’s fiction, I’m all about it! Music is another passion of mine; I’ve got a PowerPoint presentation for my twenty Spotify playlists, each with its own aesthetic. Loveless, my favorite alt-punk duo, is usually on repeat, and I’m also a big K-pop fan.
When I’m not lost in a good book or listening to music, I like to draw mini landscapes using glitter crayons on notecards and give them to my friends. I’m the oldest sibling, seven years older than my sister and seventeen years older than my brother.
