Aspen Xu
Melbourne,VIC
Summary
I'm Aspen, a dedicated biochemistry student who hopes to apply my conscientiousness and agency in scientific research. My goal is to expand our understanding of the natural world and apply this knowledge to improve human life.
From a philosophical classification, I am a Marxist and existentialist, aiming to effect systemic change towards a world with less absurdity and more humanity.
I volunteer in many community activities because I enjoy seeing the real and tangible help that I can bring to others in need.
