I am 17 years old. I am a senior attending South Atlanta High School. I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Currently, I work as a high school researcher in an engineering lab at Georgia Tech, through a program titled Project ENGAGES. There, I focus on the development of the optimization of exoskeletons and My interest for STEM began at a very young age, I aspire to pursue a degree and career in Biomedical Engineering.
