Outside of school, Amrin is a research assistant with Weill Cornell, where she assists in vascular research on kidney dialysis patients. She particularly focuses on the different sounds of blood flow that can affect the diagnosis and treatment of kidney dialysis patients. She has also worked as a research mentee at St. John’s University for the chairman of their Biology department, where she studied DNA evolution in plants. She also volunteered with the Lincoln Hospital emergency medicine department and Northwell Health LIJ pediatric department as well. Amrin has plenty of experience in tutoring, both as a private tutor and in small group settings. Amrin’s favorite subjects are math and biology, but she also enjoys art and all kinds of photography in her free time.
