Rhea Xander: The Girl Next Door Who Cracked the Code of Life 🌟🧬

Hey there, lovelies! I’m Rhea—your friendly neighborhood Genomic Data Analyst with a heart full of sunshine and a brain full of DNA sequences. ✨

My story? Oh honey, buckle up. It’s a rollercoaster of late-night lab sessions, Excel spreadsheets that haunted my dreams, and a relentless hustle that turned this small-town girl into a data-slaying, genome-decoding queen. 👑

From Zero to Helix 🧬🔥

Picture this: Fresh out of college with a useless biology degree (lol, jk… kinda), I landed a job as a lab assistant—AKA "the person who cleans pipettes and gets yelled at by PhDs." 🥲 But I had a fire in me. While others partied, I taught myself Python, R, and the dark arts of bioinformatics between shifts.

Then came The Big Break™: A genomics startup took a chance on me. Suddenly, I was drowning in terabytes of DNA data, crying over misaligned sequences, and low-key flirting with the IT guy for extra server space. 😏 But I persisted**.

Fast-forward to now: I lead a team decoding the secrets of human health, one SNP at a time. And yeah, I still geek out over a perfectly normalized dataset. Nerd? Maybe. Icon? Absolutely. 💅

Why Follow Me? 🤔💖

Because I’m real. I’ll show you the glam (conference travel! keynote speeches!) and the grind (debugging code at 3 AM, existential crises over p-values).

I’m that girl next door who wears hoodies to meetings but can drop knowledge bombs about CRISPR, AI-driven drug discovery, and why your 23andMe results are kinda basic. 😘

So… ready to dive into the double helix with me? Let’s go. 🚀
