Phoebe

Hi I’m Phoebe. I am a rising junior at the Thacher School. I am from Hillsborough, CA which is near San Francisco. I have one older brother and one dog. However, in the past I have owned chickens, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, frogs, and fish. I ride horses and I enjoy art, especially photography and painting. My favorite subjects are math and science. I came to the Boston Leadership Institute because I have always had an interest in biology. I was very excited to hear that I had the opportunity to study synthetic biology because it is such a groundbreaking new field. So far in my high school career I have taken physics and chemistry. My chemistry class did briefly go over biochemistry, but I will be taking the normal curriculum of biology next year .
