Chanelly is passionate about healthcare innovation and intellectual property rights. Chanelly's academic journey centers on the nexus of science, business, and public policy. Her goal is to impact society's access to innovative healthcare solutions, particularly by advocating for intellectual property rights within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

Beyond academics, Chanelly actively contributes to campus life as the Vice President of her dormitory.
