Bio

“Kate recently graduated from Ruamrudee International School (RIS) and is an incoming freshman at Cornell University where she’ll be studying biological sciences with a concentration in genetics, genomics, and development under the College of Arts and Sciences. Although she applied as a biological sciences major, she hopes to explore all of her interests at Cornell, including her newfound interest in statistical science and her lifelong passion for classical music. As a classical pianist, Kate started playing the piano at the age of four and has competed in many piano competitions nationally and internationally since then. Kate has also been accepted into the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music (BA/BM) dual degree programs at the University of Michigan and Oberlin College & Conservatory of Music but ultimately decided to attend Cornell University this upcoming fall.”
