Hi, everyone! My name is Paul, and I’m from Dunlap, Illinois. I majored in biochemistry and biophysics at the University of Pennsylvania and took a gap year after graduation working as a research assistant. In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, watching tennis highlights on YouTube, and curating my Spotify playlists.

I’m from Livingston, New Jersey, and went to undergrad at the Johns Hopkins University, where I double majored in cognitive science and medicine, science, and the humanities. During quarantine I have relearned how to play the piano, started growing baby succulents, played a lot of Dance Dance Revolution, and watched the entirety of The Office (for the first time).
