Hi, my name is Bolu! I graduated from Harvard in 2025 where I studied Bioengineering, Global Health and Health Policy and Yoruba. Recently, I completed a Master’s Degree in Health, Medicine and Society at Trinity College, University of Cambridge. My work aims to address barriers to accessing medical therapies from the molecular level to the societal level, and everything in between! I also love teaching and at Harvard I was a Teaching Fellow for multiple engineering and math courses, with a specific focus on the integration of technology and coding to better understand human health. In my free time, I love playing the trombone as well as playing and teaching chess. I am excited to meet everyone this summer!
