My name is Maeli Rush. I am an undergraduate freshman at Barrett the Honors College at ASU, studying Biomedical Sciences. I currently aspire to attend medical school and pursue my passion for pediatrics. As a research assistant in Dr.Ofori’s PMNI Lab, I hope to expand my knowledge of various neurological disorders, and the impact on individuals facing these challenges. I am eager to explore different avenues in neuroscience and contribute to meaningful medical research. Outside of the lab, I dedicate my time volunteering at Ryan House and Phoenix Children's Hospital, where I provide comfort and care for children facing medical challenges. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, skiing, and traveling whenever possible.
