Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a scientist; someone with the power to make something that can benefit a lot of people. As a teenager, I realized that I wanted to help military veterans who were missing limbs due to war trauma. Now, I study mechanical engineering here at City Tech. I’ve worked on projects building bionic hands, hip implants, and even testing biodegradable materials for scaffolding in tissue-engineering! Aside from engineering, I’m interested in government, activism, and any thing that leads people to happy, healthy, equal, and fulfilling lives.
