President

Besides managing AMSA CSUN and making sure everything runs smoothly, I am involved in a couple of other activities on and outside of our campus. I am currently partaking in biochemistry research lab here on campus where my partner and I work with Acinetobacter Baumannii 's FabI plasmid; due to its potential significance in the development of pharmaceuticals that can challenge antibacterial resistant strains of prominent diseases.
