Andrew concentrates in Neurobiology & Behavior with plans to spend a year or so conducting research and volunteering before going to medical school. On campus and around Ithaca, he is a biology tutor for the Learning Strategies Center, a Research and Development Assistant on Cornell DEBUT, Secretary of Cornell SEED, and a clinical volunteer at Cayuga Medical Center. He is also a research assistant at the Attention, Memory and Perception Lab under Dr. Khena Swallow. His favorite class is COGST 2621: Minds and Machines because it’s a very fun and relaxed philosophy/cognitive science class where you learn and think about AI, free will, and consciousness. Andrew likes to play guitar, read, watch shows and documentaries, and hang out with friends and family for fun. This summer, he studied for the MCAT, virtually volunteered, and worked on a website/club with fellow SA Steven Persaud to help high school students with the college application process during the COVID-19 crisis. This upcoming year, he is looking forward to BioFest and orientation! Andrew’s words of advice for new students: “Cornell can be overwhelming at first, but I promise you will make great friendships and you will become a better learner. Just keep an open mind, be proactive, always remember what you want to achieve, use your resources and reach out if you ever need academic or personal help.”
