Hi there! I'm Brandon Panza, a junior at Rock Canyon High School. I'm really excited to be part of the biotech research class this year and to have the opportunity to work with EO771 cell culture. I'm passionate about science and medicine, and I hope to pursue a career in that field.

Outside the classroom, I'm a proud member of NEHS, SNHS, NESA, and NSDA. My passion for music extends beyond the classroom as well, and I'm a dedicated trumpet player of the RCHS Marching Band, RCHS Symphonic Band, and a brass band with my friends. I was attracted to the field of medicine and biotechnology because just as music and musicianship have the power to evoke emotions, inspire, and connect people, medicine can also profoundly enrich people’s well-being. I'm excited to contribute to this field through my involvement in the biotech research group and further my understanding of the potential of biotechnology to develop innovative solutions that can transform healthcare and improve countless lives.

Hello! My name is Kayleigh Anderson, and I am a current Junior at Rock Canyon High School. I have been passionate about healthcare, and research since kindergarten. I am involved in SNHS, HOSA, and Med Club, I am also an officer of Eco Club. I took Biotechnology year 1 and immediately fell in love with the class, and research procedures. Outside of school, I have been teaching swim lessons for over a year and my favorite age group is preschool or baby classes. I also enjoy volunteering, drawing, and reading. I am so excited for the phenomenal opportunity to work with my amazing lab partners and mentors in the research of EO771 cells, and furthering my understanding of research processes. 

Hello! I am Josiah Bardgett and I’m currently a junior at Rock Canyon High School. My passions include science, reading, playing games, and singing. I currently don’t know what I want to do as a career although I am interested in pursuing some sort of a path in the science fields. I am currently participating in the Choir and Theatre programs at Rock Canyon. I enjoy the outdoors and stars along with hanging out with friends outside of school. I can’t wait to work with my group and experiment with the EO771 cells this year!
