Gardener Tia

Hi, I'm Tia Abraham, and I am currently a senior at Rock Canyon High School participating in the AP Capstone program.

In school, I mostly focus my classes on STEM curriculum, taking AP Biology, Chemistry, and Physics C throughout the past four years. Outside of school, I participate in engineering and business related extracurriculars such as the Technology Student Association (TSA) and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). Additionally, this past year I've been leading the Science National Honor Society (SNHS) at Rock Canyon as president.

Looking forward to my post-secondary education, I aim to pursue a biomedical engineering degree with either a minor or double major in business. Combining both passions that I've gained through my high school classes and extracurriculars is the ultimate goal for my future.

My Research Experience

I've been participating in independent research since sophomore year. Below are the following projects I've completed:

Efficiency of Various Algae for Biofuel Production (10th grade)
Predictive Analysis of Transcription Factors to Directly Reprogram Human Cells (11th grade)
Analyzing the Effect of Shoe Padding Height & Width on Human Efficiency & Speed (11th grade - Summer)

Additionally, through AP Seminar, I've pursued a variety of research topics:

The Impact of Rising Temperatures in the United States: A Scientific Perspective (Individual Research Report)
Diminishing the Mass Spread of Racial Generalizations in the United States through the Reduction of Racial Stereotypes Portrayed in Hollywood (Individual Written Argument)
Expanding the Inclusivity of Athletes Practicing Islam in the Professional Sports Industry (IWA)
Increasing Artificial Intelligence in Japanese Industries (IRR)

I've found my research interests lie in STEM-related categories, ultimately leading me to pursue my current research topic.
