One’s conception of science and technology has rapidly changed over the past three centuries. From a basic understanding of how electrons move to understanding and utilizing stem cells to cheat death, humans have advanced into a new realm of scientific breakthroughs unparalleled to any other time period. Genes within the human body have been bio-hacked and reprogrammed (Sophia Chen, Wired Magazine); immunities to diseases have been engineered (Antonio Regalado, MIT Technology Review); artificial…

Achieving my professional goals has been an ongoing mission that began when I entered eighth grade. At this time, I was beginning to take specific courses that related to different types of sciences and mathematics, and I found myself truly fascinated with how each subject intertwined with one another. It was in that time that I realized I wanted to be a women in STEM. My overall target after this realization was that I wanted to obtain a degree in both engineering - specifically Biomedical…
