Reagan Hsu

Student, Biomedical and Computational Biology Researcher

Reagan is a vibrant student who is constantly breaking the barriers of his knowledge in the medical world as well as in the realms of his own culture. A first generation Taiwanese-American, he drives throughout California to try out the best boba spots(of which he has decided that Teamaru is the best). He’s a huge foodie, and loves pineapple cakes–especially those that he enjoys while visiting Taiwan. He’s an athlete, and is Varsity Captain of the volleyball team at Troy High School. He likes going on late night runs and blasting music, and can often be spotted with gray headphones wrapped around his neck. As the youngest of five, Reagan is always finding new ways to annoy his three sisters and brother. And above all, Reagan loves his cats Eddie and Oscar, and Starbucks hot peppermint mochas.
