Hello! My name is Nishi Veer and I am currently a senior at Rock Canyon High school. Some of my interests that I will take on in the future include biotechnology, medicine, and theater. After taking biotechnology at Rock Canyon and the rigorous Experimental Design course, I have been able to find my passion in science. However, I have a major role in Rock Canyon Theater and spend majority of my time being an actress, director, and Vice President of Rock Canyon Drama Club! This interest lead me to develop my research project idea.

I have had a major interest in exploring the process of casting different ethnicities in theater productions, primarily in the United States as it is full of diversity. As an actress, I have had to undergo some forms of typecasting and it prompted me to understand if it is just me. This lead me to organize my research project revolving typecasting in highschool productions as I feel students should not be limited during this vital time in their lives.

Additionally, outside of academics and theater, I enjoy skiing, playing the piano, and volunteering at the Dumb Friends League helping sheltered animals.
