Kristina is from Toronto, Ontario, and is currently pursuing her undergraduate B.Sc degree in biochemistry at York University. She has always been interested in chemistry and biology. Once she had learned about how interconnected the two were in high school, she aspired to study the two further in university. In the summer of 2023, she joined the Hili group and was excited to learn more about chemical biology through the LOOPER project. During her free time she enjoys drawing, photography, and figure skating.
