Hi, I'm Kusum Poudel— a science student exploring the world through research.
I'm a first-year Bachelor of Science student majoring in Biology. I love turning curiosity into experiments, data into insights, and ideas into projects that make a difference.

About me
Curious by nature, methodical by training.
Ever since my first biology class, I've been fascinated by how tiny molecules shape living systems. That curiosity led me to pursue Biotechnology, where I get to combine lab work, data analysis, and creative problem-solving every single day.
Outside the classroom, I volunteer at a community science outreach program, help juniors with statistics, and spend weekends sketching diagrams of things I'm trying to understand. I care about doing careful, honest, and reproducible work.
