Bio

I am a dedicated and motivated student currently pursuing higher education in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University. As a recipient of the Cornell Tradition Fellow and the American Chemical Society's Scholars' Program, I am committed to demonstrating intellectual curiosity and excelling in my studies. My ultimate goal is to apply my education in the biotechnical side of chemical engineering towards modern biomedicine. Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy expressing myself through various creative outlets such as playing instruments, photography, dancing, and spending time with family. In addition to my coursework and extracurricular activities, I am also seeking internships in the fields of genetic, biomolecular, and chemical engineering to gain valuable hands-on experience.

    Finesse Your Education's "The College Burnout" Scholarship
    E-radium by Francioband 1) Campus- Vampire Weekend 2) Material Girl- Madonna 3) Gold Rush- Taylor Swift 4) Dr. Worm- They Might Be Giants 5) Feel This Moment- Pitbull 6) Dancin: Krono Remix- Aaron Smith 7) South London Forever- Florence and the Machine Behind The Scenes: E-radium is an album named that spells out "Era" when you replace radium with its atomic symbol Ra. The name Francioband comes from mixing two very important elements in my life, chemistry and music. Francio comes from my favorite element, Francium and band comes from my favorite activity, marching band. The album starts off with new vibes coming from Campus. I quickly begin to make new friends, buy new college merch, and even start to develop a crush hence coming in Material Girl. With time the crush doesn't go the way I wanted it to causing my college vibes for a short time to feel like Gold Rush. However, I know this is temporary and I need to pick myself back up. One of those pick-me ups come from the rock-out tunes of Dr. Worm which is a band favorite in the Big Red Marching Band. The vibes begin to pick up again and all I want to do is Feel This Moment. It is around this time in the semester, I find out I got accepted into a selective engineering project team at Cornell causing me to go Dancin and celebrate with my new friends. As the semester comes to a close, the reflective timbre of South London Forever is cued. I miss the semester I had but know there is 7 more exciting ones coming soon to make myself feel at home away from home. The college vibes so far have truly been an "Era".
    TopMathematicsTutors Scholarship
    1) Calculus AB/BC, Trigonometry Identities, Applications of Series 2) No 3) As a math tutor myself, I have personally seen what tutoring can do for a student. Not only do I see students get higher grades, but I see a higher confidence in their ability to do the work they have. I see soft skills being made such as seeking for help when needed and simply communicating what they want in life. They are using their resources to the best of their ability and that is what I want to do by acquiring a math tutor myself. Being tutored will allow me to better understand the material I learn in class while developing these soft skills which can later be used in college with professors and job recruiters. Seeing the style of other math tutors more experienced than me will also allow me to learn from their ways of teaching so I may apply it to the students I teach as well, continuing the cycle of serving others. What most don't realize is tutoring is not solely teaching a subject to another, but sharing knowledge with others while growing with another person through skills and memories that cannot be achieved through a regular classroom experience.
